— Jean Ross, who volunteers for Dementia Friends Indiana, thought the collection could be used as part of a fundraiser. Dementia Friends Indiana is a movement seeking to advance education and awareness of dementia while reducing the stigma associated with the disease.

“As his hobby has gotten bigger and bigger, I said we should put these to use and fundraise for Dementia Friends,” Jean Ross said. “We came up with a fundraiser, told Dementia Friends about it, and they were totally on board.”

The Rosses organized a pinball fundraiser with Books & Brews’ south Indianapolis location. The Feb. 28-29 event will offer unlimited pinball play from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at Books & Brews, 3808 Shelby St., Indianapolis. The machines will be set free mode and when a player purchases a $20 arm band, which is good for an entire day. Two-day passes are available for $30. Players ages 6 and younger are free, and ages 7 to 17 are $10 with the purchase of an adult ticket. Books & Brews also will conduct a bingo night Feb. 28, replete with a DJ.

Six other pinball enthusiasts are bringing their machines for a total of 17 available machines. —
