Volunteer - A successful event could never happen without the help and support of many great and generous volunteers. If you would like to lend a helping hand for the National Capital Area Memory Walks please contact Kate Owens or call 703.766.9009.
Much of the success of Memory Walk depends on hardworking volunteers. We are looking for volunteers to help in many different ways:
-
Pre-Walk Volunteers - Pre-Walk Volunteers help in getting the word out about Memory Walk to the public. This may include assisting with follow-up phone calls, preparing mailings or serving on one of the Memory Walk Planning Committees.
For more information about becoming a pre-Walk volunteer or to join one of our planning committees, please contact Kate Owens at 703.766.9009 or Kate.Owens@alz.org -
Walk Day Volunteers - Walk day volunteers help ensure the day runs smoothly for Memory Walk participants. This may include working at the walker check-in tent, food tent and/or water stops; assisting with entertainment, photography, T-shirt and sweatshirts distribution; route support, set-up and/or take-down of event day materials; or working as a greeter to welcome walkers or cheer on walkers as they cross the finish line.

TEAM PARTICIPATION
Teams play an important part in the success of the Memory Walk. Our teams are responsible for raising nearly 80 percent of the funds collected at our Walks.
There are four main types of teams:
- National: Corporations, organizations & clubs form a team on a national level
- Corporate: Corporations involve their employees to form a team.
- Family/Friends: Family and friends get together to form a team.
- Club/Organization: Local clubs and organizations involve their members to for a team.
We encourage you to invite family and friends to walk on your corporate team or have co-workers walk on your family and friends team. Walking is more fun when you are with a large crowd!
Team Captain - Team captains play an important role in Memory Walk, serving as a liaison between the Memory Walk team and the Alzheimer's Association. The Team Captain is responsible for forming a team and recruiting team members, setting fundraising goals and teaching team members how to fundraise. He or she informs team members of important dates and procedures and organizes the team on walk day. Team sizes vary greatly from 4 walkers to 100 walkers, but the average Memory Walk team consists of 10 walkers.Our Memory Walk staff will provide you with a Team Captain Kit that will give you all of the tools needed to create a successful Walk team.
Team Member - The captain serves as liaison for the team, but it is the duty of each team member to help reach the team's fundraising goals and help with team member recruitment. To register yourself or new member visit the registration page of your Walk of choice. Please be sure that your team captain has registered first and you know your team name.
