Here are just a few great ideas for sporting events you can host to help support the Alzheimer’s Association’s fight to end Alzhemer’s disease.

• Run a marathon
  • Or, choose your own adventure – canoe, run, hike – and ask participants to collect donations.
• Yoga or tai chi class
  • Ask the instructors to donate their time and charge participants an entry fee.
• Bowl-a-thon
  • Sell tickets and ask for a donation from bowlers for every strike.
• Basketball, baseball or softball tournament
  • Charge an entry fee per team and “pass the hat” among spectators.
• Organize a bike race
  • Charge an entry fee per rider.
• Darts tournament
  • Host it in a local bar and have teams compete to raise the most funds.  Have volunteers bartend and donate their tips.
• Plan a car rally
  • Charge an entry fee per car.  Have a “car wash for the cause” after the event and collect donations.
• Hold a kayak or canoe race
  • Charge an entry fee and ask spectators to donate in support of their favorite paddler. Ask a local sports store for a donation of prizes and award them to the winners.
