Walk Around The Block for ALZ

09/14/2026

💜 WHAT. A. DAY! 💜

Our Walk Around the Block for ALZ was an incredible success! ☀️💨 The sun was shining, the wind was definitely showing off 😂, and most importantly, our community showed up in a BIG way!

To everyone who walked, donated, sponsored, volunteered, purchased raffle tickets, shopped our vendors, grabbed some great food, or simply came out to support the cause — THANK YOU! Every person who joined us helped make the day special and helped us continue raising awareness and funds in the fight against Alzheimer’s.

🎟️ Our raffles alone raised over $700! Thank you to everyone who donated prizes and everyone who purchased tickets. Your generosity made it such a success!

📣 A HUGE shoutout to the Grand Rapids High School Cheerleaders, who were an absolute hit! They brought so much energy to the event, cheering on our walkers and entertaining the crowd. We loved having them be part of the day!

And finally, a very special THANK YOU to our Walk Around the Block committee. 💜 So much planning, organizing, coordinating and hard work happens behind the scenes to bring an event like this together. I am incredibly grateful for this group and their commitment to making our event bigger and better each year.

Walk Around the Block is all about — community, connection, memories, laughter and people coming together for a cause that touches so many of our lives.

💜 Together we walk. Together we fight. Together we make a difference.

Thank you, Grand Rapids, for another amazing Walk Around the Block for ALZ! 💜
