The Alzheimer's Association, Greater Illinois Chapter Junior Board is dedicated to raising awareness of Alzheimer's and related dementias to individuals in their 20s and 30s and take action through events, support and education to further the efforts of the Greater Illinois Chapter. We are a group of civic-minded young professionals who have been touched by Alzheimer's in some way. Some have lost a loved one, some have watched a friend suffer, and some have been caregiver - but all are united by a desire to see an end to Alzheimer's disease.
