We as a state board have chosen, Maine Alzheimer’s Association. Around 30,000 people are living with Alzheimer's in Maine. Over 50,000 unpaid caregivers are
overburdened with financial and emotional
hardship. We, the state board, have chosen the
Maine Alzheimer's Association as our state
service project for this year. The Maine
Alzheimer’s Association provides support services,
care options, and Alzheimer’s education. They
aim to end Alzheimer’s through global research,
lowering risk and detecting the disease early, and
maximizing support and care. The Maine
Alzheimer’s Association Chapter offers assistance
statewide through various resources and
donation opportunities.
The Alzheimer’s Association holds the Walk to
End Alzheimer’s across the United States.
Coming up soon this fall, there will be six walks
in Maine. We strongly encourage chapters to
register and participate in their local Walk.
There is no fee to register, but fundraising and
donations are appreciated. Help those who are
burdened by Alzheimer’s and all other
dementias by registering or donating at:
