THE LONGEST DAY Established in 2012, The Longest Day is the Alzheimer’s Association’s second signature nationwide fundraiser held annually on or around the summer solstice. Teams and individuals participate in activities of their choice to symbolize the “longest days”—the reality of those living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. This year our Chapter’s teams raised $56,109, an increase of 110% over the 2015 initiative, thanks to the effort of 57 teams (a 43% increase). Teams devised fun, creative and meaningful activities including an all-day bridge tournament, “virtual” golf tournament played across three states, knitting, swimming, bike riding, an in-person chat session over coffee to discuss the challenges of Alzheimer’s and more.
