The Longest Day
The Longest Day is the day with the most light—the summer solstice. Each year, thousands of participants from across the world come together to fight the darkness of Alzheimer’s through an activity of their choice. Together, they use their creativity and passion to raise funds and awareness for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association.

Advocates
As a volunteer advocate, you’ll make your voice heard, drive policymakers to address Alzheimer’s and other dementia, and improve the lives of everyone affected by Alzheimer’s. Your level of commitment is completely flexible to fit your schedule, style and skills. Take action to advance our mission by writing a letter or email, making a phone call, signing a petition, or visiting your local legislator. These are just a few examples.
