Nebraska Residents Put Their Passion to Work on The Longest Day
Nebraska residents are horseback riding, scrapbooking and golfing for 16 hours on The Longest Day to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org). The Longest Day is a unique sunrise-to-sunset team fundraising event to honor the strength, heart and endurance of those affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Held on June 20, 2016 – the summer solstice – the annual event symbolizes the challenging journey of those facing Alzheimer’s while raising funds and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association®.
More than 30 Nebraska teams will join other teams from around the world on June 20, 2016 to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s. Kona Ice is selling shaved ice at Super Saver Stores in Lincoln; Keena Newtson is riding horses with her family from Lexington to North Platte; Alpha Delta Kappa members are walking on the treadmill for every hour of daylight. If you would like to donate to one of the Nebraska teams or start your own team, visit alz.org/thelongestday.
The Alzheimer’s Association is the world’s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. Our mission is to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.
