What is The Longest Day?
The Longest Day (or TLD) is the do-it-yourself fundraising and awareness event of the Alzheimer's Association. People across the globe pick any activity, any date, and a location to invite friends, family and communities to participate and donate. On the longest day of the year--the summer solstice--we collectively honor and remember all those affected and celebrate the impact of our year round fundraising for the fight to #ENDALZ. In the MA/NH Chapter, our fundraisers host their own events such as a yoga fundraiser, hiking the white mountains, board game nights with family, a neighborhood cookout, walking a marathon, you name it! Learn more at alz.org/thelongestday

We are looking for volunteers to join our committee who can help with one or more of the options below:

o Help write thank you notes and other mailings throughout the TLD season
o Researching contacts and creating a list for potential new TLD teams/ events (such as boxing clubs, pickleball facilities, companies, etc.)

Daily oral hygiene is essential to keep a healthy smile. Though this event, we offer a wonderful way for CBN (Carter Burden Network) older adults to learn about oral care and the importance of maintaining a healthy smile. If they are listening carefully, they have a chance to win a game of oral care-themed trivia! Volunteers are welcome to collaborate and share a brief 20-minute presentation on oral care (ideally with some focus on older adult oral care), and then partake in an open Q&A. Additionally, there will be a trivia game of 10 oral care-themed questions that volunteers will prepare in advance to ask during the game.
Every round of trivia will consist of one winner, each of whom will win prizes donated from Colgate. In the spirit of good CBN sportsmanship, all older adult participants will leave as winners, receiving a nominal Colgate product. Products may include, but are not limited to tooth brushes, floss, mouth wash, etc. CBN staff will keep track of the names of the older adults that answer trivia questions correctly in order to properly distribute prizes (TBD at Colgate’s discretion). There will be here will be a moment of socialization with our members before start of event consisting of light breakfast items being served.
