About us
The Alzheimer’s Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. Our Minnesota-North Dakota Chapter was one of seven founding chapters of the National Alzheimer's Association, headquartered in Chicago. It was started by family caregivers who came together around a common need of getting support and help for their loved ones with dementia. Since 1979, our donor-supported, nonprofit Alzheimer’s Association has provided reliable information and care consultation; created supportive services for families; increased funding for dementia research; and influenced public policy changes. Our Mission To eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Our Vision A world without Alzheimer's disease.®

Thank you, Kyle Olson, for all you do to support our mission in Fargo! #ENDALZ
🏡 How many hours is the world-recording-setting open house? Just ask realtor Kyle Olson, a passionate volunteer fundraiser who uses his love for real estate to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Association through Do What You Love to End ALZ. Kyle lost his father after a 16-year journey with Alzheimer’s, and his grandfather and other family members also had the disease. “It’s the main reason I do this, I want to honor my father and help other families going through the same struggle.” Kyle first got involved with the Alzheimer’s Association in 2017, but it was four years later when he launched something incredible: The Longest Open House. His innovative fundraiser began as a 62-hour marathon open house designed to raise awareness — and it worked! He also set a world record in the process. In 2025, his Fargo, ND open house set a new record at 66 hours. “Residential real estate is all about family, community, safety and creating memories. When my dad couldn’t remember where home was, I made it my mission to help others hold onto theirs.” Since 2021, he’s raised over $100,000, but for Kyle, it’s about the opportunity to create a space for connection, storytelling and healing. “Seeing the impact grow and the excitement of the community coming together — all due to me sharing my story — just warms my purple heart.” 💜 Kyle is now calling on others in the real estate community to join him. “It’s a turnkey way to give back while building your brand. It has definitely been the most fulfilling part of my career.” To register for Do What You Love to End ALZ, visit alz.org/dowhatyoulove. #NationalRealEstateDay
