About a year ago, Advisor Nicole Soh of Alabama reached out to me (CEO Alison Dutton) with an inspiring motivation \u2014 we could do more. We could do more to help people save memories. We could do more to save important family stories.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In June 2023, Nicole hosted her first Longest Day fundraising crop to benefit the Alzheimer\u2019s Association. She was inspired and she inspired me.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Over the past few months in collaboration between our Product Development team, including Noreen Smith and the Alzheimer’s Association of Alabama Longest Day Manager Cecile Brown and Executive Director Jessica Miller of Alabama, we put together a collection of products to do just that \u2014 help more people save their family memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been a pleasure to work with Cecile and Jessica from the Alzheimer\u2019s Association and I\u2019ve learned a lot. I\u2019ve learned that dementia, which touches so many of our families, including my own, is an umbrella term for loss of memory. I\u2019ve learned that while four in 10 Americans talk to their doctor right away when experiencing early memory or cognitive loss, the Alzheimer\u2019s Association provides a free 24\/7 hotline available 365 days a year where specialists and master\u2019s level clinicians offer confidential support and information to people living with dementia, caregivers, families and the public (800.272.3900).<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And importantly, I\u2019ve learned that any of us can host a Longest Day fundraiser to support the Alzheimer\u2019s Association. If you are interested in how Nicole\u2019s fundraiser works, I encourage you to save the date for next weekend when PD Creative Manager Noreen Smith, who is passionate about supporting the Alzheimer\u2019s Association for personal reasons, will be at Nicole\u2019s event in Alabama and they will go live from the event in the Virtual Crop Group. Join the Virtual Crop Group<\/mark><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to tune in next weekend. Nicole is abundant in her mindset and cannot wait to see what you all do with this fundraising idea. I know that Advisor Kathy Congreve of Illinois is already inspired and planning her own Longest Day crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this collaboration, there is a set of My Life Mini Buttons (3\/pk)<\/mark><\/a> and Digital Artwork<\/mark><\/a> for purchase where all profits will be donated to the Alzheimer\u2019s Association<\/strong>. <\/mark>I am thrilled that we\u2019re able to fundraise as a Home Office with you for this wonderful organization. And, we encourage Advisors to donate your earnings from the buttons and digital kit to the Alzheimer\u2019s Association as well (Advisors receive earnings on all products).<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In addition, there are coordinating memory care stickers<\/strong><\/mark><\/a>, purple scissors<\/strong><\/mark><\/a>, two 8×8 album covers<\/strong><\/mark><\/a> and a paper album<\/strong><\/mark><\/a> that were intentionally designed by our team in collaboration with Advisors to help a person or family create an album about a family member. We all know that nothing is more powerful than having an album that you can hold and know that you are loved.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for all that you do every day to help the people around you save their family memories! And please save the date for next weekend where you can tune into the Virtual Crop Group<\/mark><\/a> to see videos from Nicole and Noreen. I cannot wait to see what we can do together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
