Fundraising for Alzheimer’s: The Coffee Break.

The Coffee Break is a major fundraising event by the Canadian Alzheimer Society. Throughout Canada, people gather to raise funds for local Alzheimer’s programs by hosting Coffee Breaks where participants make a donation in exchange for a cup of coffee.

Last year’s Coffee Break, launched on World Alzheimer’s Day (September 21, 2006) raised $1,132,400 which has been used to provide critical programs and services for those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

This year’s Coffee Break will be held tomorrow all around Canada.
