The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's, is our national signature event and brings together family, friends, caregivers and concerned community members who all want to make a difference. Since 1989, Walk to End Alzheimer's has raised more than $300 million to help those battling Alzheimer's disease.
Eight Walks to End Alzheimer's throughout our Chapter area are held annually in September and October. Thousands of men, women, and children participate as walkers, volunteers, and sponsors! Participants walk as individuals or as part of a team. Participants may also register as a virtual walker if they are unable to attend one of our Walks. Walkers ask friends, family, business associates, and others to sponsor them by making a donation to the Alzheimer's Association.
