“Many people recognize that Alzheimer’s disease is a major public health issue,” Catherine James, chief executive officer for the Alzheimer’s Association, Central New York Chapter, said. “Corporate partnerships such as this one helps us grow awareness for the disease and our services, and raises the level of conversation in the public. We’re proud of this new relationship with Lakeland Winery.”

From now until September 30, Lakeland Winery will donate $2 from the sale of each 750 mL bottle of Pleasantly Pomegranate and Wild Blueberry to the Chapter. Bottles are $12 each and can be purchased at its retail store, 877 State Fair Blvd., Syracuse, or online at lakelandwinery.com.
