Join The Longest Day Committee!
The Alzheimer's Association is fighting to end Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research, by providing care and support for all affected, and reducing the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Over 24,000 people in Rhode Island are facing Alzheimer's disease.
We are looking for dedicated volunteers who are ready to help end Alzheimer's and all other dementia.

What is The Longest Day?
The Longest Day (or TLD) is a do-it-yourself fundraiser on the longest day of the year, the summer solstice. Together, we all come together to fight the darkness of Alzheimer's through a fundraising activity of our own choosing. In the Rhode Island chapter, our fundraisers host their own events such as a yoga fundraiser, hiking, board game nights with family, a neighborhood cookout, walking a marathon, you name it!

How can I help?
Join the committee! We are looking for volunteers who are dedicated and want to help us grow and expand The Longest Day in Rhode Island. This happens through recruitment, engagement and using your own connections and experiences to spread the word. The responsibilities of the committee member are mandatory monthly meetings (zoom), approximately 2-4 hours in addition per month working on tasks identified during the monthly meeting, being an advocate for the Alzheimer's Association mission with a 360 degree view, and helping to grow our TLD community through recruitment of new participants and volunteers.
I do want to emphasize the time commitment. We really need dedicated and consistent volunteers on our committee so we can keep up with the great momentum to bringing TLD all across Rhode Island!

How can I help in Rhode Island?
We are so fortunate to have Rhode Island as a community with so much potential. Whether you work for a company who is interested in doing their own TLD fundraiser, or you have connections to other major businesses in the area, or you're just passionate about the cause - all of these equally as important and helpful to growing our TLD event. I'd love to have you on our committee!
