Dust off your best boots and put on your bling! The Boots & Bling Champions Celebration is our inaugural premier, annual fundraiser for Alzheimer’s Arkansas!
The event includes a VIP cocktail hour, buffet dinner, live entertainment, a live and silent auction, and special moments to honor individuals who are making a difference for family caregivers in Arkansas. This year, we celebrated the Arkansas Federal Credit Union as our community Partner of the Year, Pamela Smith as our Volunteer of the Year, Sharon Heflin as our inaugural recipient of our Legacy Award and Kim Clatworthy as our Champion of the Year.
Individuals and businesses may purchase tickets, tables, or become sponsors of the event.
Our 2026 Boots & Bling Champions Celebration is scheduled for October 17, 2026. A VIP cocktail reception will be held from 5:00-6:00 and the fun will begin at 6:00. The event will be held at the brand new North Little Rock Event Center. Individual tickets are $150 per person, tables of 8 start at $1,500, and sponsorship levels vary from $2,500-$50,000.
The event is casual boot, bling, and denim. Feel free to have fun with this theme! Proceeds benefit the organization’s work across the state and the ability to provide grants for family caregivers to receive respite care, support, meet needs, free programming and services to the caregivers of those living with dementia and chronic illnesses.
Boots & Bling is the first chapter of what becomes an annual tradition. Watch for something sparkling on the horizon in 2027!
