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.
