October’s The Giving Project, our collaboration with KGUN 9 & Pat Parris, continues with a spotlight on the Walk to End Alzheimer’s! The Tucson walk is coming up quickly, on Saturday, October 10th at Reid Park, but with an estimated 152,000 people aged 65 and older living with Alzheimer’s in Arizona, it’s an effort worth supporting year-round.
“Walk to End Alzheimer's Tucson serves all of Southern Arizona," explained Walk Manager Gwen Mikinski. "We know that by raising funds through this walk, it helps to support the full mission of services that we have," said Mikinski.
This walk is one of more than 600 that are hosted nationwide, funding a variety of support mechanisms and programs for free to those in need. Last year’s Tucson walk raised more than $385,000, and this year’s goal is $460,000!
