Alzheimer's Association

Worldwide, more than 55 million people are living with dementia. In the United States alone, nearly 7 million have Alzheimer’s, and more than 12 million are providing unpaid care. The Association addresses this crisis by providing education and support to the millions who face dementia every day, while advancing critical research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.

At the farmers market we will provide resources for upcoming education and support group opportunities as well as the opportunity to sign up for the upcoming Walk to End Alzheimer's.
This 2 mile walk, which is organized by the Alzheimer's Association aims to raise money to support efforts in providing care and support for those affected by Alzheimer's, as well as funding research into potential treatments and a cure.
The walk will feature local resources for caregivers and will include The Promise Garden ceremony which is a moving tribute that signifies our solidarity in the fight against the disease. The colors of the Promise Garden Flowers represent participants’ connection to Alzheimer’s — their reasons to end the disease.
