Celebrating 10 Years of Connection, Community, and Impact: Mimosas for Memories 2025
CINCINNATI – January 17th, 2025
A Decade of Impact: The Heartbeat of Giving Voice Foundation 💙
This year, Mimosas for Memories will celebrate its monumental 10th anniversary, marking a decade of dedication to those living with dementia, their caregivers, and our entire Cincinnati community. What started as a simple brunch has evolved into the largest and most impactful fundraiser of the year for the Giving Voice Foundation (GVF). The event has grown far beyond mimosas and good food—it’s become a lifeline, a source of hope, and a powerful catalyst for change. Since its inception, Mimosas for Memories has been the driving force behind our mission to provide advocacy, education, engagement, and storytelling to individuals affected by dementia. It’s a celebration of the incredible strength of families facing Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, as well as the compassionate professionals and underappreciated loved ones who stand by them. Each year, we come together to raise awareness, share stories, and fund crucial programs and resources that directly support families and caregivers.
As we prepare for the 2025 event, we reflect on just how far we’ve come. And it’s not just about the funds raised—it’s about the lives changed.
Impact in Numbers: A Growing Movement 📊
Over the past decade, Mimosas for Memories has not only raised significant funds but also served as the primary fuel behind GVF’s programming. From Creative Connections to Brains in Bloom, to our newly launched support initiatives, this event has been the foundation of our continued growth and impact in the dementia space.
Here’s a glimpse into our impact:
● We have raised over 800,000 in the past 10 years, enabling GVF to provide free resources and programming to hundreds of families.
● Over 5,000 individuals were reached through our educational events, support groups, and community programs. ● Hundreds of caregivers are supported through our Creative Connections Support Groups, Purposeful Planning Programs, and our Caring for the Caregiver writing program, all designed to offer respite, connection, and practical resources.
The growth has been incredible, but it’s the stories we hear year after year that remind us of the real power behind this event. View our 2024 Impact Report here.

Bringing the Community Together: 10 Years of Friendship 🤝
What makes Mimosas for Memories so special is the sense of belonging it fosters. The event brings together a community of individuals who understand the challenges of dementia. It’s a day of laughter, tears, and real connection—a time to come together and celebrate life, even in the face of loss.
Our community grows stronger each year, and our ability to share stories, experiences, and support is one of the most powerful aspects of Mimosas for Memories. The friendships made at this event last long after the last mimosa is poured.
“Meeting like-minded people who support the community and seeing all the supporters in one place was incredibly powerful.”
“The fund-a-need portion really stood out—it was a beautiful moment of generosity and shared purpose.”
