The Bruce A. Pasternack Family Fund’s (BAPFF) - bapfamilyfund.org - mission is to support innovative, targeted research to uncover the causation, mitigation and treatment for younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease and similar dementia-related neurodegenerative diseases.

While Alzheimer’s is typically associated with the elderly population, 6% of those on the journey are diagnosed before age 65. Younger-onset (also called early-onset or young-onset dementia) Alzheimer's (Y-OAD or YOD) is an uncommon form of dementia that affects people younger than age 65. About 5% to 6% of people with Alzheimer's disease develop symptoms before age 65. With 4M Americans diagnosed with Alzheimer's, ~ 200K to 240K have the young-onset form of the disease. (Mayo Clinic, July 8, 2020)

We imagine a world where Alzheimer's, Vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's, Frontotemporal, Creutzfeldt-Jakob, and other Neurodegenerative Diseases (NDDs) cease to exist. Join us to find a path forward.

Whether you love someone with Alzheimer’s disease, are on a personal Alzheimer’s journey, are seeking to learn more or just want to support efforts to find a cure, we welcome your investment.

In honor of the indomitable spirit of our namesake, Bruce A. Pasternack - who lost his fight against younger-onset Alzheimer’s at age 73 on January 13, 2021 - we are committed to working with the most innovative and talented medical researchers and practitioners to find a cure. In partnership with Dr. Michael Greicius, the BAP Family Fund seeks to fund research into the causation, identification, interception and elimination of progressive brain disorders.

In the Jewish tradition, we will gather to celebrate Bruce’s legacy on the one year anniversary of his passing - January 2022 - and will host a symposium in partnership with thought leaders on neurodegenerative disease. Through lectures, learning sessions, workshops, and social events, hope will be planted and a path forward will be identified. Weniger anzeigen
