High School students - we need your help to end Alzheimer’s disease! The Alzheimer's Association of Washington and Northern Idaho and Alaska are seeking High School volunteers to register and participate in a summer-time signature event, The Longest Day.

Benefits of High School students creating and developing a fundraising event for The Longest Day:

• Make a difference - use your skills and talents
• Event is based on YOUR time availability and interests
• Develop or refine skills - marketing, recruitment, promotion, project planning
• Demonstrates Leadership and Volunteering on college application with visible result
• Recognition from the Alzheimer's Association Washington and Alaska Chapter

The Longest Day is the day with the most light - the summer solstice on June 20th. On this day, we recognize the 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. The Longest Day activity can take place anytime, any day - it works around YOUR schedule. From today through August 31st we are seeking High School students to turn a favorite activity or event into a fundraiser to raise research money to help end Alzheimer’s disease. The activity or event can anything YOU LOVE to do.

High School students across our states are invited to create a 'do-it-yourself' fundraiser based around YOUR schedule! You will be supported by our Volunteer Committee and a staff partner mentor. Students have created fundraisers around rowing, golf or mini-golf tournaments, volleyball, soccer, and video gaming. You can create something outside the box, like a water balloon fight, or belly flop contest. The key: create a fun event and have others join in!
