Our Story
How we got here.
EverThrive began with financial and technology literacy learning sessions at senior centers, funded by volleyball tournaments. Working with seniors broadened our mission to senior wellness. We partnered with the Alzheimer's Association, joined the Raleigh Walk committee, and in May 2026 became the Alzheimer's Foundation of America's AFA Teens NC chapter. Today our work centers on Alzheimer's advocacy, built on the foundation of everything that came before.

Alzheimer's advocacy
Today, 16,000 people in our area are living with Alzheimer's or another dementia.
Far too many are facing it without support. EverThrive exists to close that gap — through financial and technology learning sessions, walk-day committee work, and regular visits with older adults.
