The Great Gatsby Foundation, a newly established non-profit organization, is dedicated to providing much-needed support and assistance to individuals and families affected by Alzheimer's disease and dementia in Rutherford County, TN. Inspired by personal experiences with the devastating impact of dementia within his own family, the Founder and President of The Great Gatsby Foundation, Gabriel Fancher, envisioned a local initiative that would ensure all funds raised remained within the community.

The organization's mission is to make a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with Alzheimer's and dementia by offering financial support to local organizations and groups that provide essential programs and services to the affected individuals and their families.

"Our main goal is to be a strong pillar of support for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer's and dementia in our community," says the founder Gabriel Fancher. "We want to ensure that the funds we raise stay within Rutherford County to directly benefit those in need."

To achieve their objectives, The Great Gatsby Foundation hosts the much-anticipated annual "Gatsby Party," a celebration filled with glamour, entertainment, and an opportunity for the community to come together in support of a crucial cause. The Gatsby Party serves as the primary fundraising event for the organization, with all proceeds being channeled to local non-profits and initiatives that address the challenges of Alzheimer's and dementia.

Although relatively new, The Great Gatsby Foundation has already tasted success with previous Gatsby Party events, drawing significant attention and participation from the community. The upcoming event, "The Boro Gatsby Party," promises to be even grander and more impactful, scheduled to take place on September 9th at 6 PM. Early-bird tickets are currently available for $75 per person, but after August 14th, ticket prices will increase to $100, encouraging community members to secure their spots in advance.

The organization's board of directors ensures careful collaboration with other local non-profits and community organizations to identify deserving beneficiaries. "We actively interview and assess various groups to ensure they align with our mission and are genuinely committed to helping those affected by Alzheimer's and dementia," shares a board member.

Addressing the challenges posed by the post-covid era, The Great Gatsby Foundation has thoughtfully managed the number of available tickets to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees.

Community members and local businesses are invited to support The Great Gatsby Foundation's efforts by becoming sponsors, purchasing tickets to the event, or making direct contributions to the organization.

"The Boro Gatsby Party on September 9th is an event not to be missed," exclaims Fancher. "We look forward to the community's overwhelming support in helping us build a more supportive and compassionate environment for families and individuals battling Alzheimer's and dementia."

As a measure of success, The Great Gatsby Foundation looks forward to witnessing the positive impact of the funds they raise through the various local organizations that tirelessly work to support the senior community, especially those affected by Alzheimer's and dementia.

In the long term, The Great Gatsby Foundation aspires to host additional events to further enhance their support for Rutherford County's Alzheimer's and dementia-affected families.
