Project Alzheimer’s™ is a heartfelt charitable team-building experience inspired by the documentary Alive Inside and the remarkable connection between music and memory. This music memory program empowers your group to support individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia by donating MP3 players and comfort items that help spark recognition, joy, and emotional connection. Through engaging music-themed challenges, teamwork, and shared purpose, participants contribute to a cause that has a profound and immediate impact on the lives of elderly residents in care facilities.
Teams earn donation items by completing fun music and memory-based activities, all designed to energize participants while deepening their appreciation for how powerful familiar songs can be for those experiencing memory loss. As groups assemble care packages with MP3 players, headphones, and comfort items, they gain a meaningful understanding of how these tools help elder care professionals reintroduce cherished memories to those who need them most.
Program Agenda
The program begins with an impactful introduction featuring clips from Alive Inside to help participants grasp the emotional importance of their contribution. After a lively music-themed icebreaker, teams move into a series of challenges delivered through Brainstorm, our browser-based platform that includes trivia, photo and video tasks, and interactive prompts.
As teams earn points, they collect MP3 players, headphones, stuffed animals, blankets, markers, and additional items needed to complete each memory-support care package. The session concludes with a reflective wrap-up that highlights the significance of the donation and the real-world difference these tools make for seniors in memory care.

I want to thank Best Corporate Events for all the work you are doing with your Project Alzheimer’s program. This has been one of the best volunteer efforts I have seen so far and the staff and residents are really, really, happy with the outcome.
