Events Description
For over 30 years, the IG Wealth Management Alzheimer Walk & Run has raised funds and awareness for Alzheimer Calgary, so we can continue supporting local families impacted by dementia.
This event has become a long-standing tradition for the Calgary community. Last year alone, more than 1,000 passionate participants, families, caregivers, and supporters impacted by dementia came together to raise over $290,000 for essential programs and services.
The annual event raises awareness, breaks down stigmas, fosters a community of support for impacted families, and raises much-needed funds for local programs at Alzheimer Calgary.
On Sunday, October 8, 2023, we will be taking strides for dementia in Prince’s Island Park as a powerful expression of unity, shared experience, compassion, and our collective determination to support local families who have been impacted.
About Alzheimer Calgary
Alzheimer Calgary has been supporting persons with dementia, their families, and caregivers for over 40 years. As a leader in our community, we strive to ensure they have access to high-quality education, care, and support throughout their journey.
In Calgary alone, over 20,000 people are living with dementia. Countless others in our community are navigating the journey alongside their loved ones. In the next decade, the number of dementia diagnoses is expected to double.
The need to arm our community with emerging, evidence-based information and local resources has never been greater.
As the largest fundraising event for Alzheimer Calgary, the 2023 IG Wealth Management Alzheimer Walk & Run will support programs and services right here in Calgary.
