Why this matters in Waco
The Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation's grant to the Alzheimer's Association has concrete implications for Waco residents, many of whom are likely to be affected by the disease either directly or through a family member. With Baylor University and its medical research facilities located in Waco, the city is well-positioned to support research and treatment efforts for Alzheimer's. The grant awarded by FOX 44 can help the local Alzheimer's Association chapter provide vital resources and support to families and caregivers in McLennan County. As the city's population ages, the need for these services will only continue to grow, making the foundation's support all the more critical. The fact that FOX 44 chose to support the Alzheimer's Association suggests a recognition of the disease's impact on the local community, and the grant will likely be felt by those who need it most in Waco and surrounding areas.
