There is no registration fee. However, fundraising is encouraged and vital to the success of the event. The first 500 registered walkers will receive a promotional tote bag and walkers who raise $50 or more will receive a complimentary event T-shirt.

“Alzheimer’s New Jersey has been hosting the walk at ETS for over 14 years. Last year we raised over $120,000 with 69 teams and our goal is to raise even more this year. I thank everyone who has helped to make this walk a big success and I encourage you to join us again.” says Ken Zaentz, President and CEO of Alzheimer’s New Jersey. “As the number of families impacted by Alzheimer’s continues to grow in New Jersey, the help of the local community is more important than ever. Join the fight against this terrible disease and register today. Bring family and friends. Form a team. Donate. When you walk with Alzheimer’s New Jersey - 100% of funds raised will benefit New Jersey families.”
