$25,000 Goal

For 45 years, the Alzheimer's Association has supported individuals and families struggling with this devastating disease. The Greater Sacramento Office is part of the Northern California and Northern Nevada Chapter, with 11 locations in our Chapter. Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause death, affecting approximately one in nine of those over age 65 and one third of those aged 85+. The Greater Sacramento Office serves an eight-county area: Amador, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Yolo. 

The Walk to End Alzheimer's - Sacramento event is one of the largest sources of unrestricted income. That means we can use the funds where they are needed most - supporting our 24/7 helpline, awarding grants at UC Davis or providing support groups and education right here in our office. 

Our Sacramento area programs reflect the local needs and the resources available in our community. We continue to improve programs and systems to face this growing public health challenge. As part of one of the largest chapters in the country and a strong national organization, our local office benefits from shared administrative functions that free up staff to concentrate on program delivery. Today, we remain an alliance of families and professionals dedicated to helping people with AD and their families through education, advocacy, support, and research. As catalysts for change, we provide comprehensive care and support; influence key decision-makers to ensure that policies and budgets are supportive of those coping with AD; and support the elimination of dementia through the advancement of research.

Mission

The Alzheimer's Association's mission is to end Alzheimer's and other dementias through research, care, and support.

Needs

We utilize volunteers in a variety of roles related to programs, fundraising, marketing, outreach, board service, etc. We also are continually seeking free spaces to hold education events or groups who would like to receive one of our educational presentations.

Equity Statement

At the Alzheimer's Association®, we believe that engaging diverse perspectives is critical to achieving health equity — meaning that all communities have a fair and just opportunity for early diagnosis and access to risk reduction and quality care. We are building an organizational culture of understanding while pursuing diversity, equity and inclusion through education and policies
