On Thursday, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County will show the film "Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me," which chronicles the country singer's battle with Alzheimer's during his 2012 "Goodbye Tour," in an effort to raise awareness of the disease and discuss methods for people caring for a family member.

Preceding the show, there will be a panel discussion with Campbell's wife, Kim Campbell, and his daughter, Ashley Campbell, who will also perform a musical tribute after the film.
