An Evening of Compassion, Education, Resources & Connection

All Event Proceeds Benefit CaringKind
It's the moment when the person who once cared for you suddenly needs you to care for them.
The roles reverse. The responsibilities grow. And the emotional weight of watching someone you love struggle with Alzheimer's disease or dementia can become overwhelming.
But amid the doctor's appointments, difficult decisions, sleepless nights, and endless responsibilities, one question often goes unanswered:
Who is caring for the caregiver?
Jill Conway, Frmer 20 yr News Reporter & Host of the Secrets of Powerful Women Podcast invites you to a special evening dedicated to the families navigating the challenges of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
This is more than an awareness event. It's an opportunity to hear personal stories, gain valuable medical insights, discover caregiver resources, and connect with people who understand what you're going through.
SPECIAL GUEST: JANE HANSON
Former NBC News Anchor
For decades, Jane Hanson was a familiar face on New York television. But behind her successful broadcasting career, she experienced a deeply personal journey caring for her mother, who lived with Alzheimer's disease.
Jane will share her experiences, the emotional realities of caregiving, and why asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
FEATURING LAUREN VLACHOS
Executive Director, CaringKind Long Island
Lauren Vlachos will share information about the important work of CaringKind and the resources available to families affected by Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
