Welcome To Aces For Alzheimer's
Aces for Alzheimer's is a student-led nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for Alzheimer's prevention research. Founded and managed by high school students, we bring together our friends and community through fun events to support the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. Currently, all proceeds benefit Dr. Richard Isaacson's groundbreaking work at The Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases.
About Us
Welcome to Aces for Alzheimer’s! We are Lila Epstein and Ben Mason, the current Co-Presidents of Aces for Alzheimer’s. We have ambitious fundraising goals and community outreach efforts planned for this year. Our families, like so many, have been deeply affected by Alzheimer’s. With your support, we can help fund research to work to prevent this devastating disease
Our History
Aces was founded by Jane Smoltz (Colby College ‘23) and Abigail Owen (Dartmouth College ‘23) in 2015. Once the founders went off to college, their siblings, Sam Smoltz (William & Mary ‘26), Jackson Owen (University of Pennsylvania ‘26), and Lucy Smoltz (Wake Forest ‘28) took over this important work and made it their own

2023 was our best year ever, raising $75,000! Aces’s bowling event was so successful and we want to thank all who participated and our amazing and supportive sponsors and donors. CAN’T WAIT FOR 2024.
2022 was a great year for Aces!! Once again because of the pandemic we did a virtual trivia event and raised $51,000.Thank you so much to our supporters, and amazing sponsors. We are so excited to go live for 2023!!!! Hope to see you all.
2021 was an amazing year for Aces!! We were able to raise $51,000 even with our event being virtual. Thanks to everyone who participated in our online trivia night! We could not have done this without our incredible Sponsors and our amazing community of supporters!
We will hopefully 🤞be having a live event in 2022! See you all there.
The pandemic didn’t stop us and we raised $50,000 for Alzheimer’s research and prevention. Once again all proceeds went to Dr. Richard Isaccson at the Weil Cornell Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic.
Our focus for 2021 is brain health education in schools. We are starting a Brain Health Club at Mamaroneck High School (MHS) to engage MHS students in our cause. We hope to have this club extend across other school districts with prevention becoming a major issue of our student population.
We are so excited about this years event after having to cancel our 2020 Casino/Trivia night fundraiser event. It will be exciting to see everyone virtually and we hope everyone can join us!!!!
We won’t let the global pandemic get in our way of raising funds to eliminate this horrible disease.
SEE YOU APRIL 18, 2021 !!
