2008 Walk/Run to Remember

This year's 2008 Walk/Run to Remember was a GREAT SUCCESS!!!! Over $275,000 was raised by this event, and of that total amount, $105,000 walk sponsors, donors and participants!
Thank you to all who participated, volunteered, donated, and sponsored this awareness event which supports the mission of Alzheimer's Services of the Capital Area! Know that all funds raised here, stay here.


Here are just a few pictures from the event held October 18th. For all those who were able to come out, we hope that you enjoyed the Walk/Run and the BEAUTIFUL weather!
