Alzheimer\u2019s Research<\/h2>\n
Since 1985, nationally, NARFE members have played a major role in seeking a cure for Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Through its partnership with the Alzheimer\u2019s Association, NARFE supports research into the cause, prevention and treatment of Alzheimer\u2019s disease as well as a cure for Alzheimer\u2019s and related disorders. Public education on the need for research\u2013our only tool for conquering the disease\u2013also is an important focus.<\/span><\/div>\n

NARFE Alzheimer\u2019s Fund<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
In collaboration with the Alzheimer\u2019s Association,\u00a0NARFE members have donated more than $15 million to the NARFE Alzheimer\u2019s Fund<\/em>. 100 percent of NARFE donations to the Fund are allocated to research. NARFE is a member of the Alzheimer\u2019s Association\u2019s Zenith Society, a group of about 50 donors representing the highest level of giving. NARFE is one of only four organizations belonging to the Zenith Society and, of the four organizations, NARFE is the \u201cnumber one\u201d contributor. Many NARFE members not only contribute their dollars to the NARFE Alzheimer\u2019s Fund but also plan and participate in fundraisers, and volunteer at local day-care centers and other respite-care facilities.

National Committee<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
Ten NARFE members, one from each NARFE region, are appointed every two years to serve on the NARFE-Alzheimer\u2019s National Committee. These regional coordinators meet once a year, but they function as facilitators and educators in their regions year-round to keep the research dollars coming in. They also answer questions and provide resources for NARFE federations and chapters, in conjunction with NARFE National Headquarters and the Alzheimer\u2019s Association. NARFE National President is the oversight officer for NARFE-Alzheimer\u2019s activities.<\/span><\/div>\n
