Alzheimer Association

The Alzheimer’s Association^® is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research. Our mission is to lead the way to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support. The Greater Pennsylvania Chapter serves 59 counties across the state, providing vital care and support services to individuals living with the disease, their families, and caregivers. We work tirelessly to raise awareness, advocate for public policies that support those affected, and fund critical research to ultimately find a cure. Visit alz.org/pa or call our 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900 for support and resources.

The Longest Day^® is the day with the most light — the summer solstice – and is a signature fundraising event for the Alzheimer's Association. The Longest Day participants fight the darkness of Alzheimer’s and all other dementia through a fundraising activity of their choice on a day that works for them. Participants across the globe come together to do what they love — from golfing and hiking to baking and gaming — to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research. Jeannette, PA is supporting The Longest Day with a Paint The City Purple 5k and community event on August 9. Check out the Facebook Event for more details!
