Alzheimer's Foundation of America at UTD

Welcome to AFA at UTD!

AFA at UTD aims to fight Alzheimer’s disease through educating, volunteering, and fundraising events.

With the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, we support families affected by the disease and efforts for a cure.

Join now!

Upcoming Events:
