About
Our Story
Your gift to Songs & Smiles will bring joy to people living with Alzheimer's.
Your gift will directly impact families in North Texas, brining joy to people through SINGALONG SHOWS and JOYFUL MEMORIES, our dementia-friendly magazine. These programs help people living with Alzheimer’s connect with family and friends, as well as with their own memories and emotions.
Songs & Smiles is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built with the mission of keeping families connected during the Alzheimer’s journey. Our work is supported primarily by individuals. Songs & Smiles also has been awarded generous grants from The Pollination Project, the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA), and AWARE North Texas operating through a fiscal sponsorship with Players Philanthropy Fund, Inc.
Together, we can provide joy for the Alzheimer's journey.

Equity Statement
Songs & Smiles is committed to keeping families connected during the Alzheimer's journey. Alzheimer's can impact anyone, but underserved communities are less likely to have access to care and support services. We want to help change that.
We work to help people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia connect with family, friends, and communities. We build everything we do from these core values:
THOUGHTFULNESS (listening, caring, cherishing each moment, and paying attention to details)
AUTHENTICITY (being honest in all situations)
CONNECTIONS (cherishing relationships and quality time spent together)
CURIOSITY (a willingness and eagerness to learn something new every day)
JOY (celebrating smiles, laughter, singing, and dancing)
