Cubes for a Cure

A teenage speedcuber sits beside an 85-year-old, guiding her fingers through her first algorithm. When she eventually does it by herself, they cheer and give each other a high-five.

Our volunteers work with seniors, hospital patients, veterans, and students to teach them to solve the Rubik's Cube. With dementia rates rising nationwide and social isolation now linked to a 50% increased risk of developing the disease, our workshops aim to foster both mental stimulation and human connection in the same session.

Since founding, we've grown to five chapters across St. Louis, Paramus, Chicago, Wichita Falls, and Dayton, with STL workshops hosted at Jefferson Barracks VA, multiple EverTrue locations, the JCC, and more. There is no cost to the facilities we serve.
