About The MIND CenterThe MIND Center at the University of Mississippi Medical

Center is a national leader in Alzheimer’s research and clinical

care backed by the state’s only academic medical center.

Launched in 2010 and led by Dr. Tom Mosley, The MIND

Center uses pioneering research, state-of-the-art brain

imaging and powerful genetic technologies to discover the

causes and find new methods of treatment and prevention

for Alzheimer’s and other dementias, which affect more

than 5.8 million Americans.

About Jon DorenbosWith 14 years in the NFL as a professional athlete, a finalist on America’s

Got Talent, a regular on the ELLEN Show and a world-class speaker on Fortune

500 stages, Jon shares his inspiring journey from tragedy to self-discovery.

His autobiography, Life is Magic, soon to be adapted for a major motion film,

is an extraordinary and empowering story of resilience, forgiveness, and

a life lived with purpose in the face of unfathomable obstacles.

For the past 10 years, The MIND Center has been on a mission to slow, stop and ultimately prevent Alzheimer’s and

other dementias. Yet, now more than ever, it is critical that groundbreaking research to find new treatments and

methods of prevention for these devastating diseases continues. While we wish we could be together in-person for our

special event this fall, ensuring the safety of our supporters is paramount, so this year’s benefit will be an interactive

experience guests can enjoy from anywhere.

Featuring craft cocktails, illuminating magic and interactive fun, MAGIC of the MIND will be a virtual affair everyonewill enjoy. The evening will kick-off with a cocktail mixology lesson followed by a live performance featuring the

magic of Jon Dorenbos, aired by our media partner, WJTV News Channel 12. Former NFL professional athlete, magician, and motivational speaker, Jon has entertained thousands with his charisma and world-class magic.

Sponsors will receive a Party in Place Package complete with everything needed to ensure a magical night.
