On Thursday, April 18, the Alzheimer’s Association® Greater Illinois Chapter Junior Board was declared the Associate Board of the Year. This award, given by the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network in Chicago, recognizes the outstanding contributions of a group of young volunteers who work to advocate and fundraise for a non-profit organization.
Ellie McDonald is one of 13 board members.
“We have a collection of some of the most amazing and passionate leaders who have been personally affected by Alzheimer’s disease,” said McDonald, whose own grandmother passed away from the disease. “From the inception of the Junior Board, our goal has been to create as much of an impact as we can for the Alzheimer’s Association, the Chicago community, and for the families and individuals currently dealing with this disease. We have had extraordinary success in building awareness among young professionals, supporting others who have been affected by Alzheimer’s, volunteering with Alzheimer’s fighters and raising money to fund research for a cure.”
