Glen Campbell... (continued from page 7) film the Campbell family and others are starting a foundation to help raise money for research and caregiver support. We strongly recommend the film, not only for its raw power and educational impact but for the value it brings to our work as caregivers. With an anticipated demographic upswing in the number of people aging, combined with staggering numbers of people who need memory care services and supports, the already taxed system will be put under untenable strain without some coordinated action now. This film can be the catalyst. Many organizations are collaborating to bring this story to the public and continue the dialogue towards some future solution – a cure in the best case scenario, but better resources at the least. Volunteers of America sponsored the production of the film. Volunteers of America, LeadingAge, LeadingAge New York and the Alzheimer’s Association of New York collaborated to sponsor the Oct. 24 national premier in Manhattan. To continue the dialogue and engage people toward a solution, LeadingAge New York and LeadingAge hosted at VIP Reception at the Penn Club of New York, very generously sponsored by LeadingAge New York Business Partner, Custom Computer Specialists, a business committed to the field of aging services. The reception brought together members, trustees and elected officials, as well as Glen’s wife, Kim; his daughter, Ashley Campbell; James Keach (Director/Producer, also known for the award-winning film “Walk the Line”); Trevor Albert (Producer, also known for producing popular movies such as “Groundhog Day”); Jane Seymour (Executive Producer and renowned actress); Malcolm McDowell (renowned actor) and Greg O’Brien (Author, A Place Called Pluto).
