A new campaign from McKinney for charitable foundation Voices of Alzheimer’s, which has partnered with the VoA Foundation, is a powerful, animated film highlighting the importance of early testing to combat Alzheimer’s disease.

The campaign follows a recent study exploring how early detection of the disease and other dementias can improve outcomes for those affected.

The new campaign, titled Check, Mate, ands produced by CYLNDR Studios, McKinney's in-house production arm, and Nathan Love, tells the story of two friends and chess buddies whose bond is tested as cognitive decline begins to erode their shared memories. The campaign captures the emotional toll of memory loss through mixed-media animation. 

Check, Mate was created pro bono to encourage those over the age of 65 to undergo regular baseline cognitive screenings and debuted yesterday [September 21], on World Alzheimer’s Day.
