Many organizations, businesses, community groups, and individuals enjoy sponsoring “third party fundraising events,” or fundraising functions, where the proceeds or donations benefit the Alzheimer's Association.
Examples of third party fundraisers include:
• A birthday, wedding or anniversary celebration
• Holiday, Super Bowl or Derby parties where guests bring donations
• A luncheon or casual dress day hosted by a company or one of its departments
• A golf tournament, music concert, 5K race or wine tasting
If you have questions about sponsoring a third party fundraising event, or want to discuss guidelines for using the Alzheimer's Association name or logo, please email info.maryland@alz.org or call 410.561.9099 a minimum of 4-6 weeks prior to your event.
Thank you for considering the Alzheimer’s Association as the beneficiary of the proceeds from your third party fundraiser. We appreciate your support.
Here are three examples of Third Party Fundraisers in our community:

Matthew Skip Boltansky celebrated his Bar Mitzvah on May 24, 2009. In lieu of gifts, he asked guests to make donations to the Alzheimer’s Association in honor of his grandmother, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s. Thank you for your generosity, Matthew! |

Paul Travers, of Parkton, MD, is “Giving the Boot to Alzheimer’s”!
In April 2009, Paul will embark on a 14 state, 2,175 mile through-hike of the Appalachian Trail with a goal of raising $10,000 for Alzheimer's research and support.
Herm's Hike, named in honor of his father, who is suffering from the debilitating effects of Alzheimer's, will begin at Springer Mountain, GA and end approximately 6 months later when Paul reaches the top of Baxter Peak in Katahdin, Maine.

Purple Party
Two friends coming together for a single cause. Jacquelyn Seth and CaSaundra James, proud owners of JC Cobb Events and Promotions hosted their second annual Purple Cocktail Party in Anne Arundel County.
The two began these parties after losing loved ones, Sarah Elizabeth Currence (Jackie's grandmother) and Alberto James, Sr. (CaSaundra's grandfather) to this debilitating disease.
After hosting several events in their community for fun, the two decided to party for a purpose! This year, with the help of family, friends and people in the community, the team was able to raise over $1,600 for the Alzheimer's Association!
To host your own special fundraising event, please call 1.800.272.3900 or email info.maryland@alz.org.
