If you are interested in hosting your own event please complete this brief form and someone from your local office will be in touch. We’d like to extend a special thank you to those who have chosen our organization as the beneficiary of their fundraising efforts. We look forward to putting the funds you raise to good use in working towards our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s disease.

	Forget-Me-Not Days Please join us as we celebrate Bankers Life and Casualty Company’s 10th annual Forget Me Not Days® fundraiser to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association-Greater Illinois Chapter on May 18th and 19th. For this event, volunteers will be provided green gardening aprons to wear and canisters to use to collect donations at storefronts and intersections in 68 counties across Illinois. Volunteer opportunities exist for groups as well as interested individuals. To volunteer please contact Erin King.

	Point of Purchase Program Show your commitment in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Point of Purchase Program. During the month of May ask your business to participate in this free and easy program by selling our pin-ups to customers for a small donation. This is a great way for any business to show their community they care about raising awareness and collecting funds to put an end to this disease. Contact your local office for details.

	Blondes Vs Brunettes Blondes vs. Brunettes® is a volunteer-driven chapter event, designed to bring young community leaders together to support the mission of the Alzheimer's Association. Two teams, divided to reflect the age-old rivalry between blondes and brunettes, compete in a women’s flag football game to help end Alzheimer’s. Teams also recruit coaches, announcers and other volunteers to build an atmosphere of fierce, friendly competition. Click here for more details. Contact Erin King with questions.

	Chicago Wolves We are pleased to continue our partnership with the Chicago Wolves hockey team in 2012. Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Illinois Chapter staff and volunteers will be in attendance for the March 4th game to cheer on the Wolves and raise awareness for the cause. Support the Association and the Chicago Wolves by joining us on Sunday, March 4th at 4:00PM at the Allstate Arena. Tickets can be purchased here.

	Casual for a Cause In the Casual for a Cause program, a company encourages its employees to dress down or wear jeans for a day (or more) in exchange for a small donation (usually $5) to the Alzheimer's Association. We can provide you with a sticker (or you can use your own) to be given to each employee that pays the donation to dress down. By wearing our sticker that day, employees display their commitment to the cause. Contact your local office for details.
