About Us The Carol Ann Sanders Foundation began from one man's passion
for photography combined with his desire to put his efforts toward a worthy
cause.
From the springboard of our website, we also personally participate in a number of local and regional art shows and special events to display artwork and increase awareness of the memory loss symptoms and preventative measures associated with Alzheimer's disease. We have teamed up with a talented group of artists to create a variety of items featuring wildlife and floral photography. We like to think of the artwork as our gift to you in appreciation of your support of the Carol Ann Sanders Foundation. Your donation will benefit the Alzheimer's Association and our Caregiver Financial Assistance Program. We are proud to offer this program as a way to help sustain the quality of life for individuals and families living the challenges of Alzheimer's dementia. We are working with the local Minnesota-North Dakota chapter of the Alzheimer's Association to enhance our efforts. Through this teamwork we will help make the Carol Ann Sanders Foundation a viable resource in the crusade against Alzheimer's disease.

The
desire to honor his mother was near and dear to his heart. Over an anniversary
dinner at a favorite restaurant, chatting with his wife and doodling ideas on
napkins, the idea was launched. The Carol
Ann Sanders Foundation is an advocate of the Alzheimer's Association and works
solely as an independent fundraiser to support continued research efforts and
assistance programs related to the disease. The Alzheimer's Association is
leading the way as the foremost authority in education and research. But there
is so much to be done. We wanted to do something and the Carol Ann Sanders
Foundation is our first step to help others!
