Make a Difference in the Fight Against Alzheimer’s!
September 11, 2024
The Annual Alzheimer's Walks are happening now, and 1891 Financial Life member's support can make a huge impact! Members raise funds for programs which provide education for professionals and caregivers as well as funds for care centers.

The Society has a long history of raising funds for Alzheimer’s support. From 1987 to current the Board, Home Office, and members have held fundraisers donating to local Alzheimer chapters and/or care centers – raising over $306,000!
We take great pride in, and are honored by, the efforts of our Impact Teams in raising the awareness of Alzheimer’s.
There are multiple days of service throughout the year for Alzheimer’s activities, like The Longest Day in June and World Alzheimer’s Day in September.
