Club Fundraiser and Donation to Alzheimer’s research
The Winston-Salem Wolfhounds is having a fundraiser to help raise much needed funds for the club and to also benefit Aging & Alzheimer’s Research at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
Exercise is a key part of the foundation of this club and regular exercise has been proven to come with many health benefits. One of these is the possible reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. So we are honored to be able to help any research in this medical area.

Comments: When the Mayo clinic asked the question
“Can exercise prevent memory loss and improve cognitive function?”
The answer from Ronald Petersen, M.D. was…
…”Possibly. Exercise has many known benefits, including reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, strengthening the bones and muscles and reducing stress. It also appears that regular physical activity benefits the brain. Studies show that people who are physically active are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function and have a lowered risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.” – read more here
The Winston-Salem Wolfhounds GAA club is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization set up to promote Irish Cultural through sport, fitness and healthy living. Continued healthy living can also have many health benefits, like lowering the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. So this is why we have decided to donate 50% of all the monies collected tonight to the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center Aging & Alzheimer’s research.
