The Longest Day 2017 Alzheimer’s Fundraiser

This June, Coastal Virginia Magazine and The Adventure Park at Virginia Aquarium teamed together for The Longest Day®, an annual event raising funds and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association®.

Team members from the Coastal Virginia Magazine staff climbed and zip lined from high above in the trees at The Adventure Park in Virginia Beach from sunrise-to-sunset during the summer solstice to symbolize the challenging journey that is faced for both those with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. Teams and donators raised a total of over $3,000 for the Alzheimer's Association® during the day. Additionally, PMS Deli in Virginia Beach showed their support by charitably donating 10 percent of their day’s earnings for The Longest Day®.

Thank you to The Adventure Park at the Virginia Aquarium, PMS Deli and to all of those that came out and participated and donated to make a difference for Alzheimer’s during The Longest Day®!
