Fundraise and Participate

Forget-Me-Not Raffle

As we wrap up this year’s Forget-Me-Not Raffle, our hearts are full. We are reminded time and time again that when our community comes together, amazing things can happen. 

We are thrilled to announce that it has once again been a banner year raising over $69,000! Whether you bought or sold tickets, volunteered, shared our posts, or backed us as a sponsor, this success belongs to you. 

Every ticket sold supports vital programs and services to improve the lives of those living with dementia and their families. We could not have achieved this remarkable milestone without your dedicated support. See you next year!

Host a Social with a Purpose

The Alzheimer Society of Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma District invites you to participate in the do-it-yourself fall fundraiser Social with a Purpose (formerly known as Coffee break)

This popular event runs in the month of September and October, and can be hosted in-person, online, or a combination of both. You can host at work, with your social club, or at home and help make a difference in our community.

Use your creativity and blend with another event such as a dress down day, yard sale, or Game Night.

To start your Social with a Purpose click here to register online or contact the local Alzheimer Society at (705) 942-2195 for more information and to receive a kit which contains a coin box, posters and information to get you started.

Funds raised remain local to support programs and services that improve the quality of life of local people living with dementia. Social programming, family support and counselling, education, Adult Day Program, and recreation therapy can make such a difference!

IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s

This May, our community truly showed up! In Sault Ste. Marie and across Algoma District we laced up our sneakers for the 2026 IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's. This event brings us one step closer to a future where no one faces dementia alone.

Thanks to your incredible dedication, across all four walks we've raised over $149,000 (and counting!) for the local Alzheimer Society! Participants in the #IGWalkforAlz helped raise crucial funds and awareness to meet the growing demand in life-changing programs and services that our community relies on. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to supporting people living with dementia and their families.

We extend our deepest, most heartfelt thanks to all of our incredible sponsors, donors, volunteers, and participants across Sault Ste. Marie, Wawa, Elliot Lake, and Blind River. This achievement belongs to all of you.

See you next May!
