What is Walk to End Alzheimer's?The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer'sTM is our national signature event. Since 1989, Walk to End Alzheimer’sTM has raised more than $300 million to help advance research and support for those battling Alzheimer’s disease. In 2011, the Central Ohio walks brought together more than 3,000 family, friends, caregivers, and concerned community members. In the face of this devastating disease, the walk gives you an opportunity to make a difference and give hope to the millions who are affected.

INKIND DONATIONS
The Walks are widely known for being fun and festive events, thanks to hundreds of volunteers and generous contributors of in-kind donations - from food and entertainment to prizes and publicity. We are committed to keeping Walk expenses as low as possible so that all the funds raised can go to support local chapter services.
Please consider donating a product or service from your company and receive recognition in the Walk day program. Contact Jennifer Monroe-Sega, Special Events & Marketing Manager, at (614) 442.2014 for more information.
VOLUNTEER
Each Walk depends on the volunteer efforts of a local steering committee to plan and cordinate numerous details, such as team and walker recruitment; entertainment; food and beverages, prizes, registration, logistics, and publicity. There is a place and a role for everyone who would like to get involved. If you can't commit to a long-term assignment, there are many one-time tasks, such as distributing Walk brochures or working at a water stop on the day of the Walk. Let us know how you'd like to help by calling Jennifer Monroe-Sega at (614) 442-5964.
