Take a ride. Create a memory. Help save another.
When you charter the “Memory Bus” for your special occasion, you’re not only creating lasting memories. You’re helping find a cure for people who may be losing theirs.
Bus #1074 was built by General Motors Co in 1972 for Charlotte, North Carolina’s transit system. This New Look bus, as the design was called, actively served our city’s streets for 20 years, before being replaced by more modern vehicles. Now fully restored, Bus #1074 is back on the street and creating great memories for a new generation of riders!
Create a memory. Help save another.
The Memory Bus is dedicated to the memory of Mary Lee Pappanastos, beloved wife, mother and friend, who we lost to Alzheimer’s Disease in 2018. Please help us honor her memory, while we honor those of others who have been lost. Through a wonderful ride down Memory Lane, you’ll help preserve the quality of life for people struggling with a terrible disease, while providing support and resources for those who care for them.
Don’t miss the BUS!

“The MEMORY BUS is a perfect way to celebrate a special occasion, while also doing good. Our vision is for the bus to become a recognized local treasure, helping people create great memories, while having a direct impact on the quest to cure Alzheimer’s.”
— Greg Pappanastos - Founder, The Memory Bus
