Walk to End Alzheimer’s® looked different this year, but our supporters have truly stepped up across the state to keep fighting back against Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. We are so proud of Georgia, and we can’t thank you enough for your support.
Even though walk day is over, fundraising continues. Donations for the 2020 Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be accepted through December 31, and we need your help to reach our statewide goal for 2020.
To keep up our momentum, we are excited to announce a new challenge! Today through November 30, anyone who raises or donates an additional $300 for a local walk will earn an exclusive Georgia Walk to End Alzheimer’s long sleeve t-shirt. There’s no better way to show your Georgia pride and your commitment to fight Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.
If you haven’t participated in Walk to End Alzheimer’s yet this year, take the first step now by registering at georgiawalk.org You can create your own private Walk Day by watching your local opening ceremony online and tracking your steps with our Walk to End Alzheimer’s mobile app . It’s easy to log in to your Participant Center to connect a Facebook fundraiser, ask your friends and family for their support, and check your fundraising progress.
If you have walked with us this fall, we are so grateful for the steps you’ve already taken to fund Alzheimer’s research, care and support! In addition to the exclusive state t-shirt up for grabs through November 30, you can earn fundraising incentive prizes through December 31 starting at the $300 level!
Check out these creative fall fundraising ideas as well:
- Love dressing up your fur baby? Host a virtual pet costume contest and charge a donation to participate.
- Have your Halloween jack-o-lanterns seen better days? Invite your friends to participate in a “Punkin Chunkin” contest in exchange for a donation and see who can fling their gourd the furthest.
- Looking for something fun to do? Create an outdoor fall-themed scavenger hunt and invite others (near or far) to participate in exchange for a donation.
- Do you love to cook? Host a virtual cooking class and share your favorite Thanksgiving recipes. Ask for a donation in order to attend.
- Miss seeing your friends? Invite them to drive by and drop off loose change for a “penny parade”!
Whatever you enjoy doing, we encourage you to think of how you can turn it into a safe fundraiser for Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s isn’t giving up, and neither will we.
Thank you, Georgia for everything you’ve done to support this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s!
