Alzheimer Coffee Break™ Media Kit

Alzheimer Coffee Break: Sept. 21, 2004

Coffee Break Quick Facts

  • Coffee Break™ is an annual nationwide event organized by local Alzheimer Societies to raise funds to provide essential programs and services.
  • More than 10,000 Coffee Break events will be held across Canada this year.
  • The annual Alzheimer Coffee Break has raised more than $6 million since it began in 1996.
  • The 2003 Coffee Break raised more than $1 million for essential programs and services in local communities across Canada.
  • Coffee Breaks are unique to each location and can take place anywhere: retail stores, restaurants, large and small businesses, care facilities, schools, government offices, coffee shops, community centers, churches and in peoples' homes. Each time a cup is poured, a donation is made to the Alzheimer Society.
  • Coffee Breaks aren't just about coffee! They provide an opportunity for people to socialize, build community spirit and support their local Alzheimer Society at the same time.
  • The Alzheimer Society of Canada thanks Pfizer Canada Inc., National Patron of Coffee Break since 1997, for their ongoing support and sponsorship. Appreciation is also extended to Sara Lee and National Car Rental for their participation as in-kind sponsors.
  • To find a location nearest you, contact your local Alzheimer Society or call 1-800-616-8816.
