About Hilarity for Charity
Founded by filmmakers Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen, Hilarity for Charity (HFC) is a national non-profit on a mission to care for families impacted by Alzheimer’s disease, inspire the next generation of Alzheimer’s advocates, and be a leader in brain health research and education.
HFC has provided over 430K hours of free, professional, in-home care to relieve family members who serve as full-time, unpaid caregivers to someone with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia. HFC also supports family caregivers with a continuum of care that offsets the challenges of caregiving and enables more physically, financially, and emotionally sustainable caregiving journeys.
HFC's groundbreaking digital platform, HFCUniverse, is transforming the way young people learn about, talk about, and support others dealing with an Alzheimer's diagnosis. The platform fosters a sense of community, reduces stigma surrounding the disease, and promotes brain health education. The Youth Movement Against Alzheimer’s Powered by HFC empowers and activates high school and college students across the U.S. to change the trajectory of Alzheimer's disease through education, awareness, and collective action.
