Alzheimer’s Walks Raise Funds Across US

Communities in Yuma, Pearl, Chattanooga and Memphis took part in or prepared for 2026 Walk to End Alzheimer’s events, while Monroe-West Monroe organizers promoted their Nov. 7 walk. The Alzheimer’s Association’s annual walks raise funds for care, family support and research into Alzheimer’s and other dementias; the organization says the events take place in more than 600 communities nationwide. Several events included a Promise Garden ceremony, where flower colors represent participants’ connections to the disease. Yuma organizers set a $65,000 fundraising goal, and Chattanooga’s event was more than halfway toward its $125,000 goal. Participants and organizers also emphasized remembering loved ones, supporting caregivers and raising awareness about available resources.
