About Memory Walk
The Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk,® nationally presented by Genworth Financial, is our national signature event and brings together family, friends, caregivers and concerned community members who all want to make a difference. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $200 million to help those battling Alzheimer's disease.
Seven Memory Walks throughout our Chapter area were held this year between September and October. Thousands of men, women, and children participated as walkers, volunteers, and sponsors this year! Participants walked as individuals or as part of a team. Walkers asked friends, family, business associates, and others to sponsor them by making a donation to the Alzheimer's Association and look at the results below! Thank you!
