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 $225 million to help those battling Alzheimer's disease.
Memory Walk is a great opportunity to participate in the movement to end Alzheimer's disease. Thousands of walkers come out to support the cause at Memory Walks throughout Northern California and Northern Nevada, raising over $2 million at our local Memory Walks.

Memories in the Making Art Auction
The 6th Annual Memories in the Making Art Auction was held on Friday, April 3rd, 2009 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. The evening featured a live and silent auction, musical entertainment, guest speakers, fabulous food and amazing wines. Guests had the opportunity to bid on artwork form our Memories in the Making Art Therapy program, which provides people with Alzheimer's a way to express their memories through art. We had a record breaking year and three pieces of artwork sold in the live auction for over $1500. Artist Frank was on hand to see his painting "Friends" sell for $2000! We raised a total of $92,000 at the event. To see photos of the event click here.
