Turn Up the Heat to ENDALZ

Events + Engagement, , , Leave a comment

Thanks to everyone who poured their passion and commitment to ending Alzheimer’s and all other dementia through The Longest Day. Your fundraising efforts this season have not gone unnoticed – North Carolina is on fire! 

Collectively across the state, we’ve raised just over $300,000 (60%) of our $500,000 goal. That’s definitely worth celebrating, but don’t cool down yet. We need your help to turn up the heat to finish strong and reach toward our ultimate goal – a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. 

As an incentive to keep going, we’ve got a cool challenge just for you…

Simply raise $150 or more between July 8 – July 31 and you’ll earn a branded cooling towel to keep you cool in August.

There are no rules to reach the $150 minimum, but we’ve got some suggestions to help you turn up the heat to snag it:

  • Make a self donation of any amount.
  • Ask a family member to donate $50.
  • Ask 2 co-workers to give $25 each.
  • Ask 3 friends to donate $20 each
  • If you are a returning participant, look back and see what past donors haven’t given yet. Then reach out to them directly.  
  • Host a lemonade stand to ENDALZ.
  • Plan a give back event at a local restaurant, coffee shop, or brewery in July.
  • Connect your fundraising page to Facebook and share it with your friends. 

Start or continue your fundraising today at alz.org/tld.

Remember, you have until July 31 to reach your next incentive level and all funds must be turned in no later than August 31 — so there’s still plenty of time!

The sun may have set on the day with the most light, but the fight against Alzheimer’s continues.

WE ALL HAVE A REASON TO WANT TO OUTSHINE THE DARKNESS OF ALZHEIMER’S. Start planning your own The Longest Day Fundraiser today.

The Longest Day® is the day with the most light — the summer solstice. The Longest Day participants fight the darkness of Alzheimer’s and all other dementia through a fundraising activity of their choice on any day of the year that works for them. With sports tournaments, card games, parties, baking and more, participants raise funds to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association®. Join the fun today!
