Are you passionate about yoga? The National Capital Area Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association is looking for volunteers to help us with our national signature event, The Longest Day. We are looking for assistance with recruiting yoga and pilates instructors to join our fundraising efforts. If you are a teacher and want to host a charity class, please respond! What's good for your heart, is good for your brain. Help us raise funds and awareness for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. The benefits of yoga are great for everyone, helpful in lowering the risk and important for supporting caregivers during their difficult journey. International Yoga Day also happens to fall on The Longest Day, the summer solstice, June 21, 2023. But classes benefiting the campaign can happen year round. Consider using your passion for yoga as a way to raise awareness and funds for the 6th leading cause of death in the US. Every participant, every class, and every one can make an impact in the fight to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia. We NEED everyone to get in the fight. Learn more at www.alz.org/thelongestday and please contact me directly. Thank you! Carrie
