We had a blast at the Walk to End Alzheimer's - Eugene Celebration Party! We met at Roaring Rapids, a timeless Eugene venue for family-friendly fun and pizza (an unnamed social media manager recalls many birthdays there, including the vintage carousel pictured here, as a Eugenian native). 💜🍕🎠

Please help us celebrate the top fundraising teams and participants who achieved an amazing $62,563 (the most accurate numbers are found on alz.org/walk) in community fundraising.

We cannot express our gratitude enough for the Eugene area community: from the UO Neuroscience Club to KEZI 9 News, Matt Templeman - KEZI, and the endless list of supporters, volunteers, sponsors, and local mascots. Thank you for all you do, each and every day!

This year's top teams include:
🥇 Magnoia Gardens Senior Living
🥈 Eugene Super Team
🥉 Brownies & Friends
🏆 ElderHealth and Living & Friends
🏆 Evergreen Senior Living

Incredible work to Ken Brown as the top participant and Mosaic Management Inc as the top company.

All local Walk to End Alzheimer's events are currently seeking committee members and committee chairs. We hope you'll learn more and join us at alz.org/volunteer.

Christy Scattarella is living with Alzheimer's, lined up to present a TEDx program, and holds a top #5 fundraising spot for Walk to End Alzheimer's - Portland. 💜

As many brilliant people do, Christy channeled most of her time and career to solving complex problems and serving others. With her diagnosis, many things have changed for her, including a renewed clarity and gratitude for the time she has left.

We eagerly awaited Christy's Think Out Loud podcast segment through NPR, and are thrilled to see her advocacy and passion for reducing the stigma of dementia. Christy's unique, uplifting perspective can be found online through OPB >> https://bit.ly/4qmi3QL

As always, the Alzheimer's Association is here to serve, with resources at alz.org and no-cost care and support via our 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900).

Christy Scattarella has been using her own journey with Alzheimer’s to uplift others and erase stigma surrounding the disease.
