DESIGNATED CHARITY: ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION
Eastern North Carolina Chapter
In North Carolina, more than 180,000 are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and over 358,000 family and friends are providing care.
The Eastern NC chapter which includes the Triangle serves 51 eastern counties in North Carolina. The Alzheimer’s Association provides education and support to all those facing Alzheimer’s and other dementias throughout our community, including those living with the disease, caregivers, health care professionals and families. They are also committed to advocating for the needs and rights of those facing Alzheimer’s disease and advancing critical research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure. This year’s Triangle Walk to End Alzheimer’s raised over $425,000 and nationally the walks raised closed to $100 million dollars for research, education and raising awareness.
The Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Help Line (800.272.3900) is available around the clock, 365 days a year. Through this free service, specialists and master’s-level clinicians offer confidential support and information to people living with dementia, caregivers, families and the public.
