Flippin’ Off Alzheimer’s at The Tap on Tower

On Sunday, The Tap on Tower in Superior hosted the second annual Flippin’ Off Alzheimer’s pinball tournament. The tournament began after event organizer Parnell Lutz’s father passed from Alzheimer’s in 2023.

“The way I best could generate money for the cause was what I do normally which is pinball tournaments. And so last year we started the first annual pinball tournament for Alzheimer’s called Flipping Off Alzheimer’s. We’re trying to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association, and their goal is to get rid of Alzheimer’s, have a cure for it,” said Lutz.

The tournament had a play-in fee, a donation bin, along with silent auction items in which all money made would be donated to finding a cure for Alzheimer’s.

In its inaugural year, the tournament raised about $1,000 for the cause, and is on track to double the amount for 2024.
