Join The Longest Day Committee!
We are looking for dedicated volunteers who are ready to help end Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Over 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease and you can help lead the way to a cure!

What is The Longest Day?
The Longest Day (or TLD) is a do-it-yourself fundraising and awareness event where participants choose any activity, any date, and anywhere to put together their own TLD event. Together, we all come together to fight the darkness of Alzheimer's. In the Massachusetts/ New Hampshire chapter, our fundraisers host their own events such as a yoga fundraiser, hiking the white mountains, board game nights with family, a neighborhood cookout, walking a marathon, you name it!

What are the responsibilities as a committee member?

• Use contacts in your community to help us strategize and expand
  • Examples: you work closely with your church, a Facebook group, a cycling club, your company, etc.
• Commit to monthly meetings (Tuesday evenings) year round
• Commit to 1 to 2 hours per week in additional work
  • Additional tasks include
    • Cold calling new prospects
    • Doing research on companies and places to reach out to
    • Reaching out to past participants
    • Hosting at least one in person event such as a table at a farmer's market
    • Help put up flyers around your town
    • Bring new ideas to the table on ways we can strategize and grow TLD
• Be comfortable using Google Drive
• Must live in Massachusetts or New Hampshire
• Host your own TLD event and fundraise

I want to emphasize the time commitment as we really need people who can dedicate their time and use their contacts to continue to help this event grow in MA and NH and bring more people to our organization!
