The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's is full of flowers, each carried by someone committed to ending this disease. Because like flowers, our participants don't stop when something's in their way. They keep raising funds and awareness for a breakthrough in the fight against Alzheimer's and all other dementia.

The morning will consist of family-friendly activities, sponsor and vendor booths, ceremony and Promise Garden, memory wall, and culminate with a 2-mile walk around Highmark Stadium and Station Square. There will be entertainment, food trucks, and more! This is a family friendly event, but please no pets are permitted in Highmark Stadium (service animals welcome). The funds raised through this event go to support the Alzheimer's Association - Greater PA Chapter's care and support services, including a 24-hour helpline, as well as research into Alzheimer's and other dementias. Held annually in more than 600 communities' nationwide, the Alzheimer's Association's Walk to End Alzheimer's is the world's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support, and research.
