T-Bock’s Sports Bar and Grill to Host “Cheers for a Cure,” a Weeklong Event to Benefit
The Alzheimer’s Association.
T-Bocks to donate $1 per pint sold from September 14-20 to coincide with the September 19 Northeast Iowa Walk to end Alzheimer’s in Decorah. They will also give a portion of food proceeds from 4-9 PM on Monday, September 14.
(Decorah, IA) – The Northeast Iowa Walk to End Alzheimer’s event is coming to Decorah on Saturday, September 19, and one local business is hoping to help the event make a big impact on the fight against Alzheimer’s, a disease that over 65,000 Iowans are living with.
This year T-Bock’s is hoping to support the cause in a big way, by donating $1 for every pint of beer sold from September 14-20 and donating a portion of food sales from 4-9 PM on Monday, September 14. All proceeds will benefit the Northeast Iowa / Decorah Walk to End Alzheimer’s, which takes place on September 19. Due to Luther College Family Weekend, their staff won’t be able to attend the event in person, but they are excited to support the event and hope the community joins them.
“My uncle passed away of early onset Alzheimer’s. He was the sweetest man, highly intelligent, and a successful lawyer in Kansas City. He had a wonderful smile and the kindest demeanor,” said Dominique Bockman, co-owner of T-Bock’s. “Alzheimer’s strikes home for me and for my family. My aunt is very involved in the organization where she lives (in Kansas). Whatever we can do to support this cause, we are happy to do so.”
Community members who wish to attend the walk are invited to join Team T-Bock’s or start their own walk team. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research. The Northeast Iowa / Decorah Walk will take place on Saturday, September 19, at Pulpit Rock Brewing Company, with registration starting at 9:00 AM and the ceremony and walk starting at 10:00 AM. More information about the event can be found at act.alz.org/walk.
The team at T-Bock’s and local Alzheimer’s Association volunteers look forward to “Cheers for a Cure” and hope that it will not only raise funds, but also help build community: “Giving back the best we can is important, not only for us, but for how it brings people together,” said Bockman. “Whether it be in times of trouble, or for a significant cause, it brings us joy to know that we can provide a space and a means for people to connect…maybe to eat, drink, or socialize…and to give that reward to an organization that can really use it for good.”
