Alzheimer's Association

About Us

The Alzheimer's Association® is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research

Worldwide, more than 55 million people are living with dementia. In the United States alone, more than 7 million have Alzheimer’s, and over 11 million are providing unpaid care. The Association addresses this crisis by providing education and support to the millions who face dementia every day, while advancing critical research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.

We provide care and support to all those facing Alzheimer’s and other dementia.

Our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), staffed by master's-level clinicians and specialists, provides confidential support and information to all those affected in over 200 languages.

About the Walk to End Alzheimer's

The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's® is the world's largest fundraiser for Alzheimer's care, support and research. This inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to join the fight against the disease.

While there is no fee to register for Walk, all participants are encouraged to raise critical funds that allow the Alzheimer’s Association to provide 24/7 care and support and advance research toward methods of prevention, treatment and, ultimately, a cure.

Please reach out to the Walk Manager, Lex Brenzil at: albrenzil@alz.org to learn more about participating in Walk Day through volunteerism, joining our planning committee, partnership opportunities, team and individual fundraising, company team fundraising and more!
