We've set our Memory Walk 2008 goal high - $1.25 Million! We are on the way and will reach it with your support! Together we will MOVE a nation to end Alzheimer's.
Memory Walk 2008 is on Sunday, October 26th. This year we will be entering Riverside Park at West 83rd Street & Riverside Drive.

In an effort to encourage even more families to get involved in Memory Walk, Evercare and the NYC Chapter have teamed up to provide a rest area for persons with Alzheimer's disease and their families to gather and enjoy the event. Evercare Nurse Practitioners and Care Managers will be on-site at the Evercare Family Tent to watch over people with Alzheimer's, giving family members a chance to participate in Memory Walk knowing their relative is being supervised by professionals. The Evercare Family Tent is designed to have families sit, relax and receive a free health screening from Evercare clinical staff. Evercare Family Tent attendance is limited; reservations are required. Please RSVP by Sept. 28th–Call: 212-216-6986 or E-mail: [email protected].
Sponsorships begin at $3,000 and the 2008 Sponsorship Opportunities packet is available at www.alznyc.org/memorywalk.
