    Description

    Know the shop owners in your neighborhood? Help local businesses support Alzheimer's families. The Alzheimer's Association is looking for well-connected volunteers to lead our pin-up campaign for Do What You Love to End ALZ™, our signature fundraising campaign.

    Customers add a small donation at checkout and a paper icon with their name goes up in the store. It takes very little staff time and often starts good conversations between owners and customers.

    Your Role Will Include:

    • Introducing the pin-up campaign to boutiques, coffee shops, bookstores, hardware stores, and gift shops
    • Dropping off campaign materials and checking in with store owners
    • Coaching businesses on how to promote it to customers
    • Tabling at farmers markets and local business events
    • Sending follow-ups, writing thank-you notes, and celebrating milestones

    We'll provide the materials and training. You bring your neighborhood connections.

    Contact your local staff partner, Alaina Ballance, at aeballance@alz.org, or visit alz.org/dowhatyoulove to learn more and get involved.
