| Description: |
The Alzheimer’s Association presents the 2021 Walk to End Alzheimer's New River Valley on Saturday, November 6, 2021 at Henderson Lawn on the campus of Virginia Tech and near downtown Blacksburg, VA. Event Schedule: • 8:00 AM: Walk Site Opens • 8:00-10:00 AM: Walk Route Open • 9:00 AM: Promise Garden Ceremony 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 route length is a 5k. All funds raised through Walk to End Alzheimer's further the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association. The Alzheimer's Association is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. All donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Walk to End Alzheimer's is happening — and you can join us at your local event or Walk From Home in your neighborhood. No matter where you participate, know that your health and safety are our top priorities. Every registered participant who achieves the fundraising minimum of $100 will receive an official Walk to End Alzheimer's T-shirt via USPS. To receive a shirt in time for Walk day, participants must raise the T-shirt minimum at least four weeks prior to the event. There is no registration fee for Walk participants. However, we ask every participant including children to make a personal donation and commit to raising funds in the fight against Alzheimer's. We do allow strollers, but for everyone's safety, we discourage skateboards, bicycles, inline skates and wheelie footwear. All local events will implement safety protocols including physical distancing, contactless registration, hand sanitizing stations and more. Per CDC guidelines around crowded outdoor settings, we ask that all Walk attendees be vaccinated against COVID-19 or wear a mask when in an overcrowded area. Masks will be available on-site. We will continue to closely monitor CDC, state and local guidelines to ensure Walk events adhere to recommendations and are safe for attendees. If you prefer to Walk From Home, you can still engage in many Walk-day experiences through our mobile app. The walk is a rain or shine event.
