Held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's® is the world's largest fundraiser dedicated to Alzheimer's care, support, and research. The Walk to End Alzheimer's – Springfield will take place on Saturday, September 26, at Jordan Valley Park, with approximately 1,300 participants expected to attend. Registration opens at 8:30 a.m., the Opening Ceremony begins at 9:45 a.m., and the Walk starts at 10:00 a.m. Volunteers are essential to the success of this inspiring event, with opportunities available for event set-up and tear-down, registration, greeting participants, staffing the water station, and providing general event support. Individuals interested in volunteering are encouraged to contact Julie Milbauer at [email protected]. We also welcome those who would like to become more involved by joining the Walk Committee and helping with event planning, sponsorship development, and participant recruitment throughout the year as we work together to advance the fight against Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
