The Chapter meets this mission in the community through increasing public awareness, providing education, creating and encouraging replication of model programs, collaborating with research centers, and undertaking advocacy.

The New York Chapter provides information, assistance and support to patients, caregivers and professionals, throughout the five boroughs of New York City....

The Blondes vs Brunettes Roosevelt Island football game raised $122,500 for the NYC Alzheimer's Association.
