Where do the funds go?

Do I have to register to walk?

💵 There’s no fee, but personal donations are encouraged to help fuel the fight against Alzheimer’s.
What about the kids?
👧👦 Yep—kids need to register too!
Will I get a T-shirt?
👕 Yes, if you raise $100 or more! Raise it at least four weeks before walk day to get your shirt in time via USPS. Deadline is September 12!
How do I get a Promise Garden Flower?
🌼 Each registered participant will receive a Promise Garden flower. Please choose the color that best represents your connection to the disease.
• Blue represents someone living with Alzheimer's or another dementia
• Purple is for those who have lost someone to the disease.
• Yellow represents someone who is currently supporting or caring for a person living with Alzheimer's.
• Orange is for those who support the cause and the Association's vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
Pets & Wheels:
🐾 Strollers are welcome! For everyone’s safety, we kindly discourage skateboards, bicycles, inline skates, and wheelie shoes. Well-behaved dogs are allowed but must be leashed at all times (location rules may vary).
Rain or Shine:
☔The Walk will take place rain or shine! In the event of severe weather, we may cancel. Please check the Walk homepage on or before the morning of the event for updates.
