DiPrete Engineering raises
over $10,000 for Alzheimer’s support

Cranston, RI DiPrete Engineering hosted its inaugural DiPrete & Greet: Remember the Reason at Circe Prime – a meaningful evening dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care and research. The event brought together colleagues, clients, and friends in support of two impactful organizations: the Alzheimer’s Association and the Hope Alzheimer’s Center, both of which provide critical services to families and individuals facing the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease.

Thanks to the generosity of its network, DiPrete Engineering raised over $10,000 during the event.

The evening featured a keynote address by Greg O’Brien, a career journalist and author of the internationally acclaimed book On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer’s. O’Brien, who is living with Alzheimer’s, offered attendees a unique and deeply personal perspective as the first investigative reporter to chronicle the disease from the inside.

“We are incredibly grateful for the support of our community and honored to help advance the missions of the Alzheimer’s Association and Hope Alzheimer’s Center,” said Dennis DiPrete. “Greg’s words reminded us all of the importance of remembering the reason behind our efforts.”

DiPrete Engineering hopes to bring DiPrete & Greet back in 2026, with a goal of building on this year’s success and continuing to increase the impact made for those affected by Alzheimer’s.
