MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA (August 6, 2018) – The Alabama Defense Lawyers Association (ADLA)
will hold its annual Bibb Allen Memorial Trial Academy in Birmingham, Alabama on August 9-10 at
Cumberland School of Law.
In conjunction with Trial Academy, ADLA will host a private event at Top Golf in Birmingham on
Thursday, August 9th where association members will present representatives from Alzheimer’s of
Central Alabama with collected art supplies that will be distributed to adult daycare centers which
provide art therapy to those suffering with Alzheimer’s. Art therapy offers individuals with this
disease a calming way of self-expression, as well as a means to remain connected during times where
they feel completely lost.
“Thanks to our members’ generosity, we were able to collect art supplies for those who are suffering
with this disease,” said ADLA president Dennis Bailey. “We are proud to know that art supplies will
be placed into the hands of very special individuals who will create beautiful art work for others to
enjoy.”
Each year over 400 patients and their families benefit from services such as scholarships to attend
adult day care centers or to receive continence products, Project Lifesaver bracelets to diminish the
risk of wandering, education through support groups, newsletter, website, community
awareness/education programs, and our telephone helpline.
