Welcome to your FUNdraising guide

Our annual Coffee Break campaign has a new name, a new look and new activities!We are pleased to introduce…Anything for Alzheimer's! This new campaign is designed for creative, dedicated supporters to get involved and make a differencein their community. People can plan their own fundraising activity or turn an existing event or challengeinto a fundraiser.

Why get involved?

Your fundraising is essential for people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, along withhelping their caregivers have access to services and programs through our 6 resource centresaround the province. More than 15,000 people in New Brunswick are living with dementia and this number continues togrow. Currently, there are no cures or effective treatments to delay or stop the disease. That’s whyit’s imperative to ensure funding for programs and resources to help those affected live asindependently as possible, and with the best possible quality of life.

Where does the money go?

All funds raised in New Brunswick stays in the province!

Large corporations, small businesses, hospitals, schools, serviceorganizations, health-care facilities and private residences are just a few examples of ideal places to host coffee breaks. You canorganize an event -- large or small in your community, workplace or home (we provide coffee and some supplies).
