The Alzheimer's Association Connecticut Chapter is the primary source of information and support to the hundreds of thousands of Connecticut residents dealing with the effects of Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. With their office centrally located in Southington, they are able to offer communities across the state 24/7 multilingual Helpline support, Family Training Seminars, Care Consultation, First Responder Training, Support Groups and Educational Programs for healthcare professionals, those dealing with this disease and the public. The chapter has influenced public policy changes and has provided support to dementia research in the hope of finding a cure. 

The Alzheimer's Association's mission is to lead the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.

In 2004, The Travelers Championship launched the Birdies for Charity program, adopting a national model that has seen great success in other markets. Today, the Birdies for Charity program continues to develop and thrive and has become an easy and effective fundraising opportunity for every 501(c)(3) organization. Birdies for Charity is a giving platform that utilizes the excitement around the Travelers Championship to help nonprofits across the region raise awareness and funds to support their missions. Thanks to the support of Webster Bank, organizations have the opportunity to receive a 15% bonus on every donation through the program.
