We are putting together a Tigard Kiwanis team for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Here are some of the details:

▪ George Deibert has registered a club team.

If you want to be on it, talk to him! ▪ Show up – for registration on Saturday,

October 16th at 8 a.m. at the Portland Zoo

▪ The ceremony starts at 9 a.m. and the walk

begins at 9:15

▪ Route length is 2 mi/5K ▪ Online networked fundraising is

encouraged, but you can just show up on the day of the event with funds you wish to personally donate, (or which you’ve collected for the cause).

Where do the funds go?

All funds raised through Walk to End Alzheimer's further the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.

Do I have to register in order to Walk?

Yes, we want to know you're walking with us and need every participant to sign a standard waiver through their official registration. There is no registration fee for Walk. However, we ask every participant to make a personal donation and commit to raising funds in the fight against Alzheimer's.

Does every participant get a T-shirt?

Every registered participant who achieves the fundraising minimum of $100 will receive an official Walk to End Alzheimer's T-shirt via USPS. To receive a shirt in time for Walk day, participants must raise the T-shirt minimum at least four weeks prior to the event.

How do I get a Promise Garden Flower?

Each registered participant will receive a Promise Garden flower. Please choose the color that best represents your connection to the disease. • Blue represents someone living with Alzheimer's or another dementia • Purple is for those who have lost a someone to the disease. • Yellow represents someone who is currently supporting or caring for a person living with Alzheimer's. • Orange is for those who support the cause and the Association's vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
