The Longest Day® is a campaign that allows participants to create or take part in a fundraising activity of their choice on a day that works best for them. The name represents the day with the most light – the summer solstice – and fighting the darkness of Alzheimer’s and other dementia. 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®.

The day with the most light is the day we fight.
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.
