Throughout the year, the Society hosts several special events to raise funds for support and education programs. Our events offer participants two rewards. You can come out and have some fun, while at the same time, financially support our much-needed services.

Chocolate Lovers' Luncheon held on Sunday May 2nd was a great success with 160 guests enjoying a decadent array of chocolate desserts. Dan Carter, our emcee, did an awesome job entertaining our guests and managing all of the 75+ silent and live auction items. Guests were entertained by music students of All Saints Catholic School and Rhythm DynamiX Dance troops. Thank you everyone for your support. We look forward to next year and thank everyone who supported our event through donations, sponsorships and volunteering.

Coffee Break is a national fundraiser held each fall. The Society is always looking for new hosts to participate in the event. The event is easy to host and is flexible to suit your needs. You can host a Coffee Break as part of a staff dress down day, an afternoon tea, parent-teacher night events or in so many other ways. All promotional materials are provided.

These events can be planned by individuals or businesses and are supported by Alzheimer Society Durham Region. For example, a golf tournament or a barbecue can be organized and the proceeds can go to the Society. We will promote the event through the media, and lend our name, logo and banner.

If you, your company, or social club is planning an event, you can help by naming Alzheimer Society Durham Region as your charity of choice. Please feel free to contact our office at 905-576-2567 for more information or e-mail us.
