NARFE–Alzheimer’s Fund. In collaboration
with the Alzheimer’s Association, NARFE members have donated more
than $9 million to the NARFE Alzheimer’s Fund. One-hundred percent
of NARFE donations to the Fund are allocated to research.
NARFE is a member of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Zenith
Society, a group of about 50 donors representing the highest level of
giving. NARFE is one of only four organizations belonging to the Zenith
Society and, of the four organizations, NARFE is the “number one”
contributor.
Many NARFE members not only contribute their dollars to the NARFE Alzheimer’s
Fund but also plan and participate in fundraisers, and volunteer at
local day-care centers and other respite-care facilities.
National Committee .Ten NARFE members, one from each NARFE region, are appointed every two years to serve on the NARFE-Alzheimer’s National Committee. These regional coordinators meet once a year, but they function as facilitators and educators in their regions year-round to keep the research dollars coming in. They also answer questions and provide resources for NARFE federations and chapters, in conjunction with NARFE National Headquarters and the Alzheimer’s Association. NARFE National President Joseph A. Beaudoin is the oversight officer for NARFE-Alzheimer’s activities
