Despite the recession, an insurer-organized team has raised $229,000 in contributions for the fight against Alzheimer’s disease, up from $203,000 in 2008.
Bankers Life and Casualty Company, Chicago, an arm of Conseco Inc., Carmel, Ind., recruited about 1,000 volunteers for its annual “Forget Me Not Days” program.
The volunteers stood on street corners in 116 cities in May and collected donations for the Alzheimer’s Association, Chicago.
