Our History

Founder Evelyn Ponder and first-elected president Cyndy Hudgins, led a small group of passionate and civic-minded Dallas women to create AWARE in 1989. Since then, AWARE has raised and donated over $13,500,000 in support of its mission. Today, men and women of all ages have joined our fight.

In partnership with The Dallas Foundation, a 501(c)(3) publicly supported charity, AWARE conducts an annual grant review process resulting in the selection of the most exemplary nonprofit organizations in Dallas and the North Texas region that are working on the front lines in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. AWARE provides funding and support to those leading groups which offer programs, education, and resources to caregivers and victims of Alzheimer’s disease, and to organizations doing valuable research to find prevention and ultimately a cure.

We have come a long way, but the fight is far from over. AWARE continues to expand and broaden our scope, so that what we do to fight Alzheimer’s disease has the most impact for Dallas and surrounding North Texas communities.
