November is Alzheimer’s month with many events helping raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer’s Association.
The biggest event, of course, is the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday, Nov. 19, at the FIU Football Stadium, 11200 SW Eighth St. Gates open at 8 a.m. and you can look for many teams already signed up including those from United HomeCare, Coral Gables Woman’s Club, Edward Jones, Ser & Associates, David Lawrence and the Rotary Club of Coral Gables, to mention a few.
Actually, the day before the event, at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 18, United HomeCare and Florida Community Care are hosting an Alzheimer’s and Dementia Educational Forum and luncheon at the Intercontinental Doral moderated by Dr. H.C. Rachel Tourgeman with expert panelists: Gary Barg; Dr. Trinidad Arguelles; Gloria Orlandi-Kass, MS, and Guadalupe Rodriguez, MSW MPH, LCSW-QS.
This is a wonderful event that will provide information and resources and more for those dealing with Alzheimer’s and dementia and affords a great networker for business, human resources, medical and social work professional. For information on reservations, call 305-716-0736 or email bcabellos@unitedhomecare.com.
Yet another event helping to support the Alzheimer’s Association, Coral Gables Woman’s Club’s Gringo Bingo, was held Nov. 7, at Clutch Burger in the Gables. The major sponsor for that event was Ser & Associates, who support this Walk big time every year.
These monthly Gringo Bingo games hosted by Clutch Burger since 2019 have contributed funds to dozens of charities and the funds for Dec. 6 Gringo Bingo will be shared to support the 2022 Jingle Bell Run to be held Saturday, Dec. 17, at Tropical Park.

Speaking of CGWC, on Friday, Nov. 18, look for members at the annual SMARTRIDE, a two-day 165-mile bike ride from Miami to Key West for which CGWC annually handles two pit stops lead by club member Carmen Suarez. Funds from this annual event, founded years ago by Glenn Weinzimmer, are directed to several HIV/Aids clinics throughout the state.
In other news, CBS4 evening news anchor Lauren Pastrana recently emceed A Safe Haven for Newborn’s Gala at the Hilton Miami Downtown. The affair featured an amazing program as well as a fabulous auction both in person and online.
Founder and CEO Nick Silverio proudly announced to the organization that 16 more babies were saved from abandonment and possible death since the last gala, bringing to total to 366 newborns saved. In the case of this organization, it is not just the babies that are saved. You see, ASHFN also gives support and life changing help to all those mothers as well.
Nick Silverio works 24/7 with no salary and inspires his one person staff and countless amazing donors and ambassadors who help support the organization with multiple fundraising events including the annual Gala, 5 K Run/Walk and a Golf Tournament.
