Alzheimer's Association
Nonprofit Marketing
Alzheimer's Association is the top voluntary health organization that advocates for Alzheimer's research, care, and support. Nationwide, they host a Walk to End Alzheimer's event annually to raise funds and awareness for their mission.
As the development intern at Alzheimer's Association, I worked on various marketing-related tasks to support their Walk to End Alzheimer's events. My main focus was on Indiana's chapter, which includes 10+ markets.
Apart from market research to find new participants and sponsors, I also outreached to 200+ new leads and existing participants. The main purpose of these phone calls and email campaigns were to promote fundraising challenges and maintain positive relationships with participants.
I also managed 3 Facebook Groups by:
-
scheduling content on higher traffic days/times
-
creating digital graphics using Canva for announcements, fundraising challenges, and other content
-
brainstorming creative virtual fundraising ideas (due to COVID-19 pandemic)
-
engaging with participants
Other responsibilities included:
-
editing Walk day opening ceremony by compiling clips/slides and overlaying audios
-
updating Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for 3 Walk markets
-
designing other company documents using Adobe Acrobat software according to Alzheimer's Association brand guidelines
