Food for Thought 2021

Food for Thought is a grassroots fundraising and awareness campaign focusing on food and FTD education. This year's campaign (our ninth!) will take place from September 26 through October 10, 2021.

FTD is the most common form of dementia for people under 60.

Although FTD is a life-altering disease for those affected as well as for their loved ones, it remains little known and poorly understood. That makes effective diagnosis, treatment and a cure a far-off reality for families around the world.

This campaign seeks to change that.

Food for Thought event hosts tell their stories, making people personally aware of FTD, while incorporating food and raising funds to support AFTD’s mission.

$50 for 50 Challenge:

Thanks to a generous pledge by The Mike Walter Catalyst Fund, you can make your state count in a new “$50 for 50” challenge where $50 will be donated to the campaign total for every state with an event signed up or confirmed participation in Food for Thought (including the #FTDhotshotchallenge!). If all 50 states are signed up, then an additional $2,500 will be donated to the campaign total — a total of $5,000 possible!
