If you want to take your Walk participation to a new level, you can become a part of our 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer's Planning Committee. The magic doesn't just happen on Walk Day!...

We rely on truly dedicated volunteers to help us reach our goals and raise awareness in the community. This will involve recruiting and retaining teams and cultivating former, potential and current Champions.

Meetings are starting now! Time commitments are roughly 2-4 hours a month increasing to 5-8 hours a week closer to Walk day.

Currently planning for a Walk near you! #ENDALZ #WALK2ENDALZ

Volunteer committee members will work in conjunction with the Chapter Staff Partner in recruiting participants for The Longest Day Campaign. In addition to recruiting new participants, the Volunteer Committee is to be focused on raising revenue, increasing awareness and promoting the concept of The Longest Day Campaign.

The Longest Day is a signature event of the Alzheimer's Association. It provides growth and opportunity to the organization by : a) bringing new audiences to our cause, b) raising new revenue, c) engaging companies and associations in a new way, and d) allows people the flexibility to participate and fundraise in the way that works best for them.

The Alzheimer’s Association Early Stage programs are specialized educational and supportive programs for people recently diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia and their care partner(s). In the role of Early-Stage Support Group Facilitator, individuals may be responsible for Support-Focused Groups for people living with the disease and care partners.

An Alzheimer’s Association support group is an open gathering of people with common problems, needs and interests who come together to share their feelings, thoughts and experiences in a combined effort to better cope with and manage the shared problems of dementia in a safe environment. The goal of the Alzheimer’s Association support groups is to provide emotional, social and/or educational support to group members. In the role of Caregiver Support Group Facilitator, individuals may be responsible for one or more of the following types of groups: General Caregiver, Adult Child, Spouse, Men, Language-specific, or other.

Individuals with marketing experience/background are sought to assist in promoting the Walk to End Alzheimer's on the Peninsula and in Williamsburg. Walk to End Alzheimer's is the Association's largest awareness-building and fundraising event, occurring in the fall (Newport News Oct. 20, Williamsburg Oct. 27).
