End Alzheimer’s
Snohomish County Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be held Sept. 7 at Boxcar Park, 1200 Millwright Loop E., Everett.
Times are: 9 a.m. registration; 10 a.m. opening ceremony; and 10:30 a.m. walk begins.
Last year, this event raised $136,578 to fight Alzheimer’s disease and provide care and support programs for local families. Participants honor their loved ones and those in our community who’ve been impacted by Alzheimer’s during a Promise Garden Ceremony, followed by a 2-mile walk. This is a family and pet friendly event, and the walk route is fully accessible.
It is free to attend. Those who donate or raise $100 or more will receive a “Walk to End Alzheimer’s” T-shirt.
