    The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research.

    Our success starts with our volunteers - people like you who support the fight against the disease and want to become more involved. As a day-of-event volunteer, you can help make Walk to End Alzheimer’s a fun, meaningful community event while getting to know others who share your passion for the cause.
