Volunteer Opportunities
Community Fundraising Event Organizer
Host a fundraising event, in-person or virtually, to raise donations and awareness for LBDA. These events can be centered around a favorite pastime – such as golfing, cooking, or running; many fundraising events are in a loved one’s honor.
Fundraiser
Participate in peer-to-peer fundraising and/or online donation pages for LBDA with no event attached to the giving.
Support Group Facilitator (SGF)
Lead virtual, in-person, or hybrid support meetings for those diagnosed/symptomatic (as appropriate), care partners, and/or loved ones. The majority of groups have remained virtual or hybrid. Most groups meet monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly for about one to two hours. Groups range in size from 5-20 individuals per meeting. A two-year commitment and a connection to Lewy Body Dementia is required.
