Emory University’s Goizueta Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center is preparing to host “Drag Down Memory Lane,” an event to connect Atlanta’s LGBTQ community with brain health initiatives.
Dr. Monica Parker is one of the event’s organizers who, along with the show’s emcee Tugboat AKA Blake Fountain, joined “All Things Considered” to preview what attendees can expect on Saturday.
They said the event will feature drag performances showcasing music from the 60s, 70s and 80s, and will provide resources on Alzheimer’s research and caregiving.
It’s scheduled for March 15, at Out Front Theatre in Atlanta. Attendees can learn about research participation, enjoy entertainment and engage with community support organizations. More information can be found here.
