The Scotiabank Pro-Am for Alzheimer’s is an innovative fundraiser that offers amateur hockey players the chance
to play with and against a host of NHL alumni while raising critical funds for Alzheimer’s research and care. To
participate, teams must raise a minimum of $25,000 and, based on total dollars raised, get to draft an NHL
alumnus to play on their team.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Gordie & Colleen Howe Fund for Alzheimer’s, which is named in tribute to
Gordie and in loving memory of his wife Colleen who passed away from Pick’s disease, a form of dementia, in
March 2009. The Howe Fund supports the work of The Alzheimer Society of Alberta & Northwest Territories
(ASANT), and care and research in Alzheimer’s and related dementias at Baycrest.
