Greater Indiana Chapter thanks 2024 Walk to End Alzheimer’s participants, sponsors and volunteers for a job well done
We did it! The 2024 Walk to End Alzheimer’s event season has come to a close, and what a job well done. The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research programs. Across the Greater Indiana Chapter, Walk to End Alzheimer’s takes place in 13 communities, with over 600 Walk locations nationwide.
Walk season wouldn't be possible without the support of so many people, including volunteers, team captains, participants, and sponsors. With the community behind us, the 2024 Walk season was yet another momentous campaign in the fight against Alzheimer’s. Take a look at some of the highlights from Greater Indiana’s 2024 Walks.
Across all 13 Walks in Greater Indiana, more than 1,100 teams and 8,200 participants have raised an outstanding $2.23 million for Alzheimer’s and dementia care, support and research. Give yourselves a pat on the back for your tremendous efforts thus far.
At our current fundraising levels, five greater Indiana Walks have surpassed their fundraising goals. Congratulations to the following Walk to End Alzheimer’s communities who have not only met, but exceeded fundraising goals already this season. Your efforts and support for our mission are greatly appreciated.
Terre Haute - 100% to goal
Special mention to communities at 80% or more including Bloomington, Columbus, Greater Lafayette, Indianapolis and Lake County. With the support of these communities, we know we can achieve these goals this year.
For the second consecutive year, the Indianapolis Walk to End Alzheimer’s was also the first Walk in the nation to surpass the $1 million fundraising milestone.
On behalf of the Alzheimer's Association Greater Indiana Chapter and our board of directors, we extend our heartfelt thanks for all of your amazing support of this year's Walk to End Alzheimer's.
Thank you to our sponsors! You are one of our biggest supporters not only through Walk day activations but your year round dedication to the cause. With your support you’ve allowed us to deepen connection within our local communities and pave a path forward that includes new audiences and opportunities.
To our committee members and volunteers, you are at the core of our mission and Walk to End Alzheimer’s would not be possible without your tireless support, time and energy. Thank you for all that you do to make this campaign a success.
For the first time, we have treatments that can change the course of Alzheimer’s. While this is a tremendous step forward, our work is far from done. We won’t rest until everyone living with the disease — at any stage — can get the treatment, care and support they need and deserve.
With the support of your participation in Walk, the Alzheimer’s Association is fueling the most promising research in the field, investing in more than 1,100 projects in 56 countries. All of your incredible efforts help fuel groundbreaking treatments like the ones now becoming available — and bring us closer to our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.
Because of your efforts, in FY24, the Greater Indiana Chapter was able to reach over 10,000 hoosiers through our 24/7 Helpline, numerous education programs, awareness presentations and support groups. Our advocates were able to pass priority bills like Act 273, which requires insurance coverage of biomarker testing in Indiana. And most importantly, your support has allowed us to connect Hoosier to a community that sees them, understands them and is working towards a world without Alzheimer’s and dementia alongside them.
Although our 2024 Walk events have come to a close, Alzheimer’s isn’t stopping, and neither are we! Fundraising for the 2024 Walk to End Alzheimer’s season continues through Dec. 31, 2024.
As we head into the holiday season, these are the moments our community needs our support and resources the most. If you feel so inclined, we encourage you to keep fundraising or make a self-donation now through Dec. 31 to show your continued support for our shared mission.
Walk participants also have the opportunity to be rewarded for fundraising efforts through the 2024 Walk to End Alzheimer’s incentive program. Check out the prizes available and aim to hit your goal before Nov. 6, 2024 to earn your rewards.
The Alzheimer’s Association is excited for what the rest of 2024 holds, and we look forward to your continued participation and support through the year and beyond. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this Walk to End Alzheimer’s season a success thus far.
