Smiles were shining brightly at the home of Sheryl and Gary Wood as they hosted the recent announcement of AWARE’s 2026 grant recipients. AWARE North Texas is a nonprofit organization that empowers North Texans to rise above the challenges of Alzheimer’s and other dementias together. The funds distributed were raised from supporters of AWARE, as well as funds from the AWARE Affair gala, Boots, Buckles and Brain Health last spring. All funds raised stay in north Texas. For more information about AWARE North Texas and how to participate as a Friend of AWARE, visit the website at awarenorthtexas.org.
