    Description

    Run for a Reason – Volunteer Ambassador for “Do What You Love to End ALZ”

    Use your passion for running (or walking!) to help end Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Association MA/NH Chapter is looking for dedicated running enthusiasts to serve as Volunteer Leaders for Do What You Love to End ALZ™, our signature fundraising campaign that empowers people to turn what they love into meaningful action.

    We’re looking for energetic, well-connected running enthusiasts to recruit and coach fellow runners to host a fundraising event and get their communities involved in support of Alzheimer’s care, support, and research. You'd be joining a fun local committee of dedicated Ambassadors who have a variety of passions, and are dedicated like you to ending Alzheimer's and all other dementias in honor of their loved ones.

    Whether you’re part of a running club, organize events, or just love working out, this is your chance to lead with purpose and make a powerful impact.

    Your Role Will Include:

    • Recruiting runners and running groups/clubs to start fundraisers
    • Connecting with local businesses (e.g., dealerships, shops, clubs) for partnerships
    • Tabling at events, giving presentations, and attending community events
    • Writing thank-you notes, sending follow-ups, and celebrating milestones
    • Phone calls and emails to targeted lists
    • Hosting a fundraising event of your own, no minimums required
    • Representing the Alzheimer’s Association mission with energy and heart

    We’ll provide all the training and tools you need to succeed—you bring the passion, connections, and love for the game.

    Let’s run to end Alzheimer’s.

    Contact your local staff partner, Meghan O'Neil, at maoneil@alz.org, or visit alz.org/endalzmanh to learn more and get involved!
