Do You Coffee Break?

Dementia affects everyone - in all walks of life. But anyone can make a difference by supporting those families living with Alzheimer's and other dementias.

How? By participating in the Alzheimer Society's national fundraising campaign, Coffee Break. Simply put on a pot of coffee, invite friends and co-workers and collect donations, or get creative: host a bake sale, have a dress down day by donation, or offer paper coffee cut-outs by donation to post at your workplace or business.

By hosting a Coffee break and raising funds, you will make a difference.

Only 30% of our funding comes from the government, so we rely on community support to deliver (at no cost) the vital counselling, support groups, education series and social recreation programs to the thousands of people in the London and Middlesex region living with dementia.

Please join our 2015 Coffee Break Campaign Honourary Chair, Bill Brady and support these local families.

You can register here, or contact Rebecca Lafleur-Hannam at 519-680-2404 ext 242 or rlafleur@alzheimerlondon.ca.

We'll provide you with promotional materials, ideas and everything else (even coffee!) you need to get started.
