Fundraising

Alzheimer's disease affects more than 5 million Americans of every race, gender and culture, and costs our nation more than $148 billion annually. Unless we find a way to stop it, up to 16 million Americans will have the disease by 2050. Every step you take brings new hope for better treatments and a cure. You should feel good about the important role you are playing.  Below are a few fundraising tools available to team members.

Fundraising Requirements

Our teams have worked hard through both individual and team efforts to accomplish great success in their fundraising. Over the past few years, the average fundraising total for our Boston marathon team members has been $7,000.

Boston and New York team members are required to raise a minimum of $3,000. Qualified runners interested in joining these teams are required to raise $1,500. 

Requirements for our non-marathon races vary by event and range from $250 to $1,000.
