Team registration events set for Putnam Walk to End Alzheimer's

Are you interested in participating in the Putnam Walk to End Alzheimer’s this October?

You can enjoy some music and refreshments while signing up at one of two team registration events set for Thursday, July 12, and Thursday, July 19, at Mahopac Chamber Park in Mahopac. There will be a Walk to End Alzheimer’s table in the park during the summer concerts where registrations can be made. Registrants will receive tickets they can redeem at Cacciatore Pizzeria for a slice of pizza or Uncle Louie G’s for a free ice cream cone.

“These team registration events are a great way to reach out into the community,” Walk Manager Venesa Marcellin said. “We are having them on the same nights as the local concert series in the park, so there will be music, ice cream and pizza. I think it will be a great way to bring attention to the Walk to End Alzheimer’s event coming up on Oct. 21st at Putnam Veterans Memorial Park.”

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research programs. Participants learn about Alzheimer's disease, advocacy opportunities, clinical-study enrollment and support programs and services.

The Walk draws people of all ages together to honor loved ones lost to Alzheimer’s and help raise funds to fight the disease.

Last year, the Hudson Valley’s five Walks to End Alzheimer’s raised more than $1 million for care, support and research efforts for those affected by Alzheimer’s.

Since 1989, the Alzheimer’s Association has mobilized millions of Americans in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease through its walks.

The Alzheimer’s Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research. Its mission is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research, to provide and enhance care and support for all affected and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Its vision is a world without Alzheimer’s. Visit www.alz.org/hudsonvalley or call 800.272.3900.
