Thank you for your dedication to the Alzheimer's Association®! We invite you to continue making a difference by joining us for The Longest Day® — the Association's largest do-it-yourself (DIY) fundraiser.
You can fight Alzheimer's through a fundraising activity of your choice on a day that works for you. Whether you're an avid gamer, enjoy movie marathons with your family or create art to unwind, any activity can be a fundraiser for The Longest Day. The funds you raise advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association and make an incredible difference to people living with Alzheimer’s and their families.
Join us for The Longest Day and, together, the strength of our light will outshine the darkness of Alzheimer's.
When you take part in The Longest Day, you join passionate participants like Jack, driven by a determination to end Alzheimer's. His "why" inspires us all:

 "I participate in The Longest Day in honor of my late grandpa Dennis, who passed away last year and suffered from dementia in the later years of his life. Watching him and my family struggle through his diagnosis drove me to give back and do anything I could to aid in the research for an Alzheimer's cure. This disease disrupts one's autonomy and forces those affected to transition from a functioning independent person to one dependent on selfless caregivers for support.
Unfortunately, this same fate fell upon my grandpa, who, for all his life, had succeeded as a business owner, community member and husband/father/grandfather. Watching dementia eat away at his brain, impacting his cognitive skills, memory, and executive functioning was painful to watch and challenging to deal with. It also made me wish I had more time at the lake, taking me out on the golf course or simply walking around the hardware store to get items he didn't need but might use 'some day.' I would do anything to relive just one ordinary day with him before dementia took hold of his life."
