Memories Matter Alzheimer’s Association Scrapbook Fundraiser 2026

NOTE: the IN-PERSON event on June 12 & 13 is SOLD OUT! But if you come to any of my other cropping events that month I will be donating 20% of all my Creative Memories sales to the fundraiser!

Alzheimer’s disease targets one of the things that scrapbookers care about the most - our memories! Please join me again this year as we raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Association through their Do What You Love to end ALZ fundraiser.

Once again I am offering TWO options this year: a pre-recorded virtual event (with some VERY special guest presenters!) on June 20th, and/or an in person event at my studio in Madison, Alabama on Friday, June 12 and Saturday, June 13. And of course you can do both!

100% of the event fees will go directly to the Alzheimer’s Association and may be tax deductible based on your own tax situation.

IN-PERSON: (SOLD OUT but I’m leaving the info here for those who have already signed up that need a refresher:)
Friday June 12, noon - 9 pm & Saturday June 13 10 am - 6 pm: Minimum $75 donation.
Space is limited to 22 guests. You’ll get a goody bag with some exclusive CM products (some that I have been saving specifically for this event!) plus dinner Friday (Hawaiian Haystacks!) and lunch Saturday (Salad Bar) and you’ll have your own 6’ crop table the whole time.

VIRTUAL: June 20, 4:38 am EDT - 9:11 pm PDT (sunrise on the East Coast till sunset on the West Coast): Minimum $35 donation.
Join me along with fourteen other CM designers as we celebrate the Longest Day of the year with a full day of layout tutorials shared on YouTube. Once you make your minimum required donation you’ll receive an email inviting you to the Facebook group where all the videos and handouts will be posted, and where you can share your version of each layout for the opportunity to win CM credits!

I will also be hosting a Zoom crop on the 20th for anyone who signs up with me for the fundraiser. I can’t promise I will be on there the whole time (dawn on the East coast is EARLY) but the room will be available to those who are interested in hanging out there between video drops.

If you are NOT on Facebook have no fear, there will be a non-FB option to view the tutorials and download the handouts.

Or do BOTH the in person and the virtual events with a $100 minimum donation.

And of course, I’m asking for a minimum donation, but since 100% of what you donate goes directly to the Alzheimer’s Association I hope that you’ll consider making more than the minimum.

Ready?? There are TWO steps please!

1. Make your donation directly through my fundraiser link on the Alzheimer’s Association Website:
The Longest Day Fundraiser (you’ll have to enter the $75 amount, that isn’t one of their choices)
Please note that although my name/face doesn’t show up on the page, the main fundraiser page is the one that goes to me and will get you access to the zoom group. Don’t get confused by the names of the other “teams”!

2. Fill out the Google Form (you know how I love Google Forms!) so that I know which options you are signing up for!

Once you’ve filled out the forms you’ll get an invite to the Facebook group, and we’ll share the supply list (although you can always use whatever products you want to for the layouts!) and other information (like an optional t-shirt order, and the actual event schedule).

THANK YOU for supporting this cause which is near and dear to my heart!
