Thunder Bay's Alzheimer's Society has benefited from money from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The OTF provided enough cash for a three year pilot project. Spokesperson Jason Rasevych says they used the money to improve their fundraising techniques. Rasevych says donations increased quite a bit from 2007 as well, going from 40 thousand to 90 thousand a year. Rasevych adds more people know about the local branch now than they did at the start of the project in 2003.
