The Alzheimer's Association Young Champions is a diverse group of emerging leaders who are dedicated to changing the face of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias by engaging our peers and raising awareness across generations. 

The Young Champions educate future generations about Alzheimer's and related dementias, raise funds to provide help and hope to those affected, and advocate for change at the state and federal levels.

This year the Young Champions had its inaugural signature fundraising event called Blondes vs. Brunettes® The Alzheimer's Association Young Champions host other special events, educational, advocacy and volunteer opportunities throughout the year that help promote the awareness of Alzheimer's disease and start changing the face of Alzheimer's.
