NARFE February
Great news: Registration is now open for the 2023 Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®, and we hope you will join us! The final 2022 Walk to End Alzheimer's numbers from last year are in, and NARFE members helped to raise more than $78,000* to help provide much-needed Alzheimer's care and support services and advance groundbreaking research. Thanks to the dedication of NARFE members, we're getting closer to our shared vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to the cause!
*Correction to January 2023 e-newsletter: Walk to End Alzheimer's fundraising has contributed to NARFE's overall total of more than $15 million in fundraising contributions.
