Sportscasters Against Alzheimer’s is back for 2024!
The Alzheimer’s Association Wisconsin Chapter is pleased to announce that Sportscasters Against Alzheimer’s is returning for the 4th year. This initiative is part of the Alzheimer’s Association efforts to increase concern and awareness of the nation’s 7th leading cause of death.
 
In the sports-loving state of Wisconsin, sportscasters from across the state have signed on to help us reach new audiences and elevate awareness for a disease that impacts more than 110,000 Wisconsinites.
 
The team’s main goal has been to create awareness through the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Wisconsin, the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. For the first two years, Matt Lepay and Paul Braun, two of the most recognized voices in Wisconsin sports, lead the team. In 2023, Craig Coshun, sportscaster covering the Brewers and Bucks, signed on as Honorary Chair for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s to help us increase awareness and raise funds. This year, it's Jeff Levering, play-by-play voice of the Milwaukee Brewers, takes the helm.
 
Other sportscasters include Aaron Sims, Stephanie Sutton, Bob Bradovich, Darrel Burnett, and Steve “The Homer” True, to name a few. Join the ranks of these celebrity sportscasters and sign up for your local walk today!
