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.”

(Cresco, IA) Regional Health Services will host the annual free Active Aging Expo for adults aged fifty and older and their loved ones on Tuesday, September 15 at the Cresco Fitness Center from 10 AM – 2 PM. This year the event will be in the fall for the first time and will include free all-day access to the Cresco Fitness Center, vendors offering resources, programs throughout the day, free refreshments, Regional Health’s first community flu shot clinic of the year, free blood pressure screenings, and door prizes.

“Although the event has been very successful since moving to Cresco Fitness Center three years ago, participant feedback showed that a fall event was even more attractive,” said Kerrie Rogne, Director of Nursing at Community Health Services at Regional Health Services of Howard County. “This also gives us the opportunity to hold our first flu shot clinic during the expo, giving seniors the chance to gather resources, engage in impactful presentations, enjoy socialization over free refreshments, and protect themselves from the flu all at one location.”

The event includes over thirty vendors with information on a variety of topics such as volunteer opportunities, long-term care facilities, nutrition, hospice care, fitness, and more. Programs throughout the day will cover a variety of topics:

10:00 – 10:30 Forever Fit with Fitness Center Team
10:45-11:00 Top Ten Red Flags for Scams with RSVP

2:30-3:15 Water Aerobics with Fitness Center Team

“The active aging expo helps adults gain the resources to stay as active as possible at every age and stage,” said Rogne. “Planning ahead, staying informed, and staying active ensures that people can continue to pursue goals and dreams and have the highest possible quality of life well into older adulthood.”
