Telling the Story of Us

Together we can make a difference.

All of the founding members of CTF have had some personal experience with dementia or other related cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. They have been disappointed with the lack of available, effective solutions offered in today’s market. CTF raises funds to enable the discovery of effective breakthrough drugs and novel treatments by removing the traditional barriers to drug discovery. This is a fast-growing problem, not only in the United States, but globally. It affects millions of people - with the number growing higher daily and inflicting many at a much younger age. The timing is right for you to join us in our fight against dementia. We have the connections, the energy, and the backgrounds to make an immediate effect. Now all we need is YOU.

Hank Safferstein – SVP, Cognition Therapeutics Its organizations like CTF that step out and say this is a big problem we need to fund this important research. Hank Safferstein - SVP, Cognition Therapeutics Julie Fassinger – CTF Board Advisor One of the things that I love the most about this organization is that they are laser focused on specifically putting their money where their mouth is, and putting money directly to research that is going to fund cutting edge drugs. Julie Fassinger - CTF Board Advisor Amantha Thathiah – PIND Neurobiologist For the future of dementia research, alzheimer's disease, FTD, foundations such as the Clear Thoughts Foundation are crucial because I think these funds are where the real discoveries and the novel and innovation comes from….. this is where the real science begins. Amantha Thathiah - PIND Neurobiologist Susan Catalano – Founder & CSO, Cognition Therapeutics The Clear Thoughts Foundations support has been completely instrumental in actually facilitating the search for these therapeutics. Susan Catalano - Founder & CSO, Cognition Therapeutics Danelle Jameson – Spouse of CTF Co-Founder I commend Hayley for this journey with Clear Thoughts Foundation because it is very unselfish….. this will start the path of finding a cure for FTD and other types of dementia. Danelle Jameson - Spouse of CTF Co-Founder Dr. Nathan Urban – Associate Director, Pittsburgh’s Brain Institute It’s only through private philanthropic support that these ideas will see the light of day. Dr. Nathan Urban - Associate Director, Pittsburgh's Brain Institute Bryan Gratton – Gratton & Kerr Financial Group CTF is an organization driven to bring more awareness and to solve the problem of Dementia. Bryan Gratton - Gratton & Kerr Financial Group Dave Myers – Co-Founder/DOS, EduLink, Inc. Clear Thoughts is making a difference for a most worthy cause… and for all of us who have family members who suffer from dementia. Dave Myers - Co-Founder/DOS, EduLink, Inc.
