The Alzheimer Society is asking people to host a Coffee Break fundraiser during the month of September and into October.

People can make a donation in exchange for a cup of coffee. Money raised supports local programs and services provided by the Alzheimer Society Sudbury-Manitoulin. Coffee Break events are held at various workplaces, schools and people’s homes. People can also purchase a paper cut-out of a coffee cup to support the organization.

Visit www.alzheimercoffeebreak.ca and set up a personalized web page to collect funds online, in exchange for a virtual cup of coffee, or make a direct donation to the Coffee Break program.

For more information phone 705-560-0603.
