Alzheimer’s Association Calls for Volunteers

The Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org) is looking for volunteers interested in joining its team with a single united goal – to help end Alzheimer’s disease and find Nebraska’s first survivor. Your support will help to ensure the organization is doing the most for men and women throughout the state facing this disease.

The Nebraska Chapter has a number of different leadership volunteer roles available within the following fundraising events: Walk to End Alzheimer’s, Blondes vs. Brunettes, and The Longest Day. Volunteers are also needed to help with care and support: Community Presenters, Support Group Facilitators, and Public Policy Advocates. The Alzheimer’s Association is committed to providing a meaningful experience for volunteers through empowerment, engagement and elevation. To sign up or to learn more, please visit alz.org/nebraska and complete a volunteer application.

Alzheimer’s disease is a growing epidemic and the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. As baby boomers age, the number of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease will rapidly escalate, increasing well beyond today’s more than 5 million Americans to as many as 16 million by 2050. In Nebraska, the 33,000 people living with the disease are cared for by more than 81,000 unpaid caregivers. The Alzheimer’s Association’s vision is a world without Alzheimer’s disease. Visit alz.org or call (800) 272-3900 for more information.
