Who We Are
The ADDF is proud to have the support of this fascinating mix of Young Professionals (ages 25-45) whose devotion to funding a drug cure for Alzheimer’s and dementia is vital. This committee of enthusiastic New Yorkers serves as ADDF ambassadors, building awareness of our mission through business associates, family and their social circle, and raising much-needed funds for Alzheimer’s drug discovery. The committee’s work gives young professionals the opportunity to develop leadership skills in a philanthropic environment and to use their time, talents, and contacts to strengthen the ADDF.
While the Young Professionals group is both educational and social in nature, our true goal is to build leadership amongst this age group, working with people committed to the cause of a drug cure for these devastating diseases. As it continues to grow, the Committee will decide on its level of involvement in ADDF activities.
