Who We Are

The members of Young Champions care about Alzheimer’s disease. We’ve been touched by Alzheimer’s in our own lives, and we see the epidemic’s potential to affect everyone in our society, and deplete our public resources. As a group of young professionals who are engaged in our communities, we’re taking on the mission to work for the end of Alzheimer’s by increasing awareness of Alzheimer’s and related dementias, advocating for change at state and federal levels, and raising funds to provide hope for people affected.

How to Get Involved

Take the first step in joining the Young Champions by telling us about yourself and your interests. Membership is free.

Blondes Vs. Brunettes

Be one of the first people to get involved with Blondes vs Brunettes - Twin Cities to benefit the Alzheimer's Association. Blondes vs Brunettes is a tag football game where team members are divided based on the age-old rivalry between blondes and brunettes (Note: Redheads are “free agents,” permitted to play for the team of their choice). This fundraising competition increases awareness of Alzheimer’s disease among a new generation. Watch the Blondes vs. Brunettes as they hit the gridiron for the Alzheimer’s Association’s critical work in care, support, advocacy and research. For more information on how you can get involved on the planning committee or as a player, e-mail BvBTwinCities@gmail.com or visit the Blondes vs. Brunettes facebook page.
