ABOUT US
The Georgia Alzheimer’s Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in May 2020 by Robert “Bobby” S. Kaufmann, MD, Sam W. Austin and Andrea Mickelson. Having lost their fathers to Alzheimer’s disease, Bobby and Sam's passion and motivation to make a difference has resulted in raising $10 million for the cause through their annual golf tournaments. The J. Paul Austin Invitational Golf Tournament is now in its 28th year, while the James A. Kaufmann Memorial Golf Tournament celebrates its 23rd year. Becoming close friends and advocates for the cause, Bobby and Sam knew they wanted to make an even greater impact by forming the Georgia Alzheimer’s Foundation with a focus in Alzheimer’s research and community services. Also deeply committed and personally affected by the cause, Andrea Mickelson joins the Foundation as Executive Director.
The Georgia Alzheimer’s Foundation understands the importance of innovative research in the ultimate quest for a cure and more effective treatments, while also recognizing individuals living with the disease, their families and medical professionals need education and support. We identify leaders in the field who support our mission and vision and provide funding opportunities to qualified beneficiaries through our annual fundraising efforts.
