The Longest Day Volunteer Committee - Alzheimer’s Association
The Longest Day is the day with the most light - the summer solstice. And it’s the day the Alzheimer’s Association calls on everyone to fight Alzheimer’s disease by raising funds and awareness for care, support, and research. Thousands of participants across the world will come together and stand up to the darkness of Alzheimer’s through an activity of their choice.
Your Role:
As a member of The Longest Day Volunteer Committee, you will work alongside the Longest Day Volunteer Committee Chair and Alzheimer’s Association staff to maximize the number, quality, and outcomes of TLD. The Committee is tasked with team recruitment and retention, planning, and marketing and promotion of TLD events. Additionally, the committee members will support teams through coaching in fundraising and event planning.
We are excited to form a diverse committee that represents our community. We will work with you to find a role that fits your interests, skills, and schedule.

Mission Statement
Our Vision: A world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.™ Our Mission: The Alzheimer's Association leads the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia -- by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.
Description
The Alzheimer's Association leads the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia - by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.
The Alzheimer’s Association was founded in 1980 by a group of family caregivers and individuals who recognized the need for an organization that would unite caregivers, provide support to those facing Alzheimer’s and advance research into the disease.
Jerome H. Stone, a true visionary in the Alzheimer’s movement, was our founding president. When his wife, Evelyn, was diagnosed with the disease in 1970, information about Alzheimer’s - even among the medical community - was limited. With drive and determination, Mr. Stone took a disease that was cloaked in silence and helped to create a global conversation.
