Join the Stay Family in the Fight Against Alzheimer’s

#StaysToEndALZ is a family-founded movement dedicated to raising awareness, supporting caregivers, and accelerating research to end Alzheimer’s for good.

Our primary fundraising efforts include an annual golf tournament hosted by the Stay family and participation in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. These events bring our community together in support of a common goal: to raise critical funds for research, care, and support for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

2025 Golf Tournament

Registration will be opening soon for our tournament in September, 2025. Please check back soon for updates!

About Us

Our family and our cause

For our family the impact of Alzheimer’s is profound.  

Keith’s mother Judy was diagnosed in 2008 and has been living in a long term care facility for the last several years.  Keith Stay Sr. was diagnosed in 2016 and passed in 2021.  Grace Stay was diagnosed in 1998 and passed away in 2007.  

Honoring their memory is what inspired us to take the first step.  We’ve met so many others who’ve also been impacted.  If you’ve seen this disease up close you know how hard it can be on the family members who become caregivers.  This shared experience is what drives us and our mission forward.

In 2019 we decided to step forward and try to make a difference for patients and families enduring this terrible disease. The first year we stumbled through it but found our sense of purpose, and our small but mighty team, with the generosity of our family and dear friends, raised over $7000 for the cause.
In 2020 we wanted to do more, honor those we hold dear and find creative ways to fundraise…#StaysToEndAlz Golf Tournament was born. Amid a global pandemic we raised over $11,000.

One day we will live in a world without Alzheimer’s. How soon we get there depends on how hard we work. Please consider making a donation, participating in an event, or better yet, take up the cause with us and join our team.
With love,
The Stay Family

Your Contributions Make a Difference

Behind every statistic is a person, a family, a story. These numbers remind us why the fight to end Alzheimer’s is so important.


Prevalence

In 2024, approximately 6.9 million Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s disease.

By 2050, this number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million.

Mortality

Alzheimer’s disease was the fifth-leading cause of death among people aged 65 and older in 2021.

One in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, surpassing deaths from breast and prostate cancers combined.

Impact

In 2024, health and long-term care costs for individuals with dementia are projected to reach $360 billion and nearly $1 trillion by 2050.

Over 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias.
