HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.,
June 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BJ's
Restaurants, Inc. (NASDAQ: BJRI) is proud to partner with the
Alzheimer's Association® for the second year to support
those living with Alzheimer's. June is Alzheimer's & Brain
Awareness month, and the Alzheimer's Association® has
designated June 21 as The Longest
Day®, dedicated to supporting and assisting all those
affected by Alzheimer's disease. In addition to providing
visibility in restaurants during the month of June, BJ's is
inviting guests, employees, friends and communities to get
involved.
All month long, BJ's guests will have an opportunity to donate
to the Alzheimer's Association®. With a minimum donation
of $1 guests will receive a free
Pizookie® coupon for their next visit, valid through
July 31, 2019. As a proud supporter
of the cause, BJ's plans to make the Longest Day® even
longer. On June 20 AND June 21, BJ's will match in-restaurant donations*
to the Alzheimer's Association®.
"We are proud to partner with the Alzheimer's
Association® for the second year in a row to support a
disease that affects more than five million Americans and touches
so many of us here personally," said Kevin
Mayer, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer
of BJ's Restaurants, Inc. "Alzheimer's is the nation's largest
under-recognized public health crisis and BJ's is dedicated to
helping find a cure."
On The Longest Day®, which takes place annually on
the summer solstice, participants from across the world come
together to fight the darkness of Alzheimer's through an activity
of their choice. Together, they use their creativity and passion to
raise funds and awareness for the care, support and research
efforts of the Alzheimer's Association®.

and this number is estimated to grow to as many as 14 million by
year 2050.

$290 billion. By 2050, these costs
could rise as high as $1.1
trillion.
