Event Information
| Event Info: |
The Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk® is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research – and it calls on volunteers of all ages to become champions in the fight against this fatal disease. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $260 million for the cause. Walks are currently held in nearly 600 locations nationwide.
The Memory Walk is a non-competitive 1 or 3-mile walk and a festive event for families, co-workers and friends of all ages. If you have any questions about the event, contact the Main Chapter office at 913.831.3888, 800.272.3900 or trisha.mcclanahan@alz.org.
Your efforts will help us reach our fundraising goal of $325,000 and MOVE the Cause Forward throughout our Chapter's bi-state service area.
