The Longest Day- Greater New Jersey Chapter

Save to Favorites

The Longest Day(r) is the day with the most light - the summer solstice. On June 20, thousands of participants from across the world come together to fight the darkness of Alzheimer’s through an activity of their choice. Together, they use their creativity and passion to raise funds and awareness for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association(r).

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
It’s easy - choose an activity you like to do and turn it into a fundraiser to fight Alzheimer’s! Follow the steps below to get started.
1. Select an activity you enjoy at alz.org/thelongestday.
To advance critically needed research and provide care and support, each participant is asked to raise funds through their activity for the Alzheimer's Association. Any activity can be a fundraiser for The Longest Day:
» If you’re a talented artist, lead an art class for friends and family. Then host an art sale and donate the proceeds as your fundraiser.
» If you like to golf, organize a golf game with friends and ask each player to pledge $50 for every birdie.
» Host a BBQ and ask friends and family for a donation in exchange for a
delicious meal.
» Raise extra funds by adding a silent auction, challenge or competition to your activity. You can even ask for donations instead of birthday gifts!
