CARMEL,
Ind., Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CNO
Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: CNO) and Bankers Life announced today
a contribution of $426,395 to the
Alzheimer's Association for Alzheimer care, education, and research
programs. This is the 20th year CNO and Bankers Life
have supported the Alzheimer's Association through our national
Forget Me Not Days® fundraiser.
"We see firsthand the impact that Alzheimer's and all other
dementia have on our associates, customers, their families and
their caregivers," said Bruce Baude,
chief operations and technology officer for CNO Financial and
member of the national board of directors of the Alzheimer's
Association. "We are proud to partner with the Alzheimer's
Association whose mission aligns to CNO's commitment to the
well-being of middle-income America. We know our partnership with
them can make an impact to provide care and support programs and
ultimately find a cure for this devastating disease."
CNO and Bankers Life recognized the Alzheimer's Association with
a $200,000 corporate donation to
support its mission to eliminate Alzheimer's disease and all other
dementia. Funds also support the charity's "Managing Money: A
Caregiver's Guide to Finances" education series and local Walk to
End Alzheimer's events in Chicago
and Indianapolis, where the
company has corporate offices.
Throughout the months of June and July, Bankers Life hosted its
annual Forget Me Not Days® fundraising campaign.
This year's campaign raised $215,000
for the Association through public and associate
donations. Additionally, corporate Walk to End Alzheimer's
teams have already raised $11,000 in
support of the October events.
"After twenty years of support, this partnership is embraced at
all levels, from our sales agents in the field to our corporate
office executives," said Scott
Goldberg, president of the consumer division at CNO
Financial Group and a board member of the Alzheimer's Association
Illinois Chapter. "For several associates, engaging with our
programs led to volunteer roles with a chapter of the Alzheimer's
Association, eventually leading to Board positions both at the
chapter and national levels. It's such a joy to see associates
connect with the mission of a charity CNO and Bankers Life
supports, and then take that service to new heights as an
Association volunteer."
Since 2003, CNO and Bankers Life have helped raise more than
$7 million for the Alzheimer's
Association through its Forget Me Not Days campaign and corporate
donations. One hundred percent of the funds raised are donated to
the Alzheimer's Association, the largest nonprofit funder of
Alzheimer's research in the nation. Since 2019, the Forget Me Not
Days campaign has aligned with The Longest Day®
campaign, an Alzheimer's Association signature campaign, as a
Global Team. To learn more and donate visit,

"The Alzheimer's Association is deeply appreciative of CNO
Financial Group and Bankers Life for its ongoing commitment to our
mission," said Liz Adams, chief
development officer of the Alzheimer's Association. "For two
decades, the annual Forget Me Not Days campaign has been
instrumental in supporting programs to help families affected by
Alzheimer's, while also raising awareness, which is crucial in
making the advancements we need to make. The Alzheimer's
Association thanks the companies, its associates and community
members for their unwavering support and generosity."
