Nominated for Student Organization of the year, four years in a row, Animal Care for a Cause is established for the expressed purpose of becoming an advocate for abandoned and neglected animals. As mostly all humane societies and rescue organizations are non-profit organizations, our plan is to hold fundraisers to raise money which will be used to donate funds and products to local humane societies and rescue organizations. These societies are independent organizations that try to provide veterinary care, fostering, adoption, and so much more to the best of their ability but rely on the support and donations of their community. Our goal is not only to donate to these organizations, but to also actively volunteer our time and services to them. It is our plan to serve as a voice for those who don't have one while raising awareness against the broad spectrum of animal cruelty and attracting attention to the services that were built to benefit animals throughout a community.

Brain Exercise Initiative is a research-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit service organization that utilizes simple math, writing, and reading-aloud exercises as an intervention to improve cognitive function in assisted-living facility residents with Alzheimer's Disease. Pioneered by neuroscientist Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, it has been found that doing these simple brain exercises for just 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, caused marked improvements for those with Alzheimer's Disease. The gentle mental activities Dr. Kawashima used activated the prefrontal cortex, the control center for memory, cognition, and planning.

Drawing from this groundbreaking research, Brain Exercise Initiative at LSU strives to create an intergenerational service opportunity in which LSU students hold brain exercise programs at retirement homes in the Baton Rouge community. We use daily packets which include simple math, writing, and "read-alouds" that are completed by each elder with the guidance of LSU student volunteers. Not only does Brain Exercise Initiative at LSU hope to improve the memory of those suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia but we also create an invaluable, all-too-rare avenue for intergenerational service, discussion, and collaboration. Volunteer with us to help more seniors remember and thrive!
