This year the Walk to End Alzheimer's in Sterling will be held on Saturday, Aug. 24, at Columbine Park.
The Alzheimer's Association is seeking volunteers to help coordinate this year's event. Meetings are held twice a month at 5:30 p.m. in the Chamber of Commerce Conference office in the Old Depot.
Unlike many non-profit fundraising walks, this one doesn't require a registration fee in exchange for a T-shirt. This is a pledge event at which every person who walks is asked to make a personal contribution and ask family, friends and co-workers to support them with a donation to the Alzheimer's Association. Once participants reach $100 in pledges they receive a shirt. Other incentive prizes are offered as fund raising levels increase.
"The walk offers a unique opportunity to feel a sense of community and support on the long road of Alzheimer's disease" stated Marcia Shafer, regional director for the Alzheimer's Association Colorado Chapter Northeast office. "Community volunteers make this event happen each year and help us provide services and programs at no cost to families who so desperately need our help."
To learn more about the Walk committee or to volunteer call (970) 392-9202 or email mshafer@alz.org
