WHAT: The Alzheimer’s Association invites the public to a special Pep Rally for the 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer’s® Jacksonville. This event will offer attendees a preview of this year’s Walk, an opportunity to learn how to get involved, and the chance to connect with others in the fight to end Alzheimer’s. There will be food, fun, raffle prizes, fundraising ideas and more.
WHEN: Wednesday, Aug. 20, 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm
WHERE: Mellow Mushroom, 9734 Deer Lake Ct., Jacksonville
WHY: The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, including over 580,000 Floridians. Events like this help fund vital resources and research for families affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
The Walk to End Alzheimer’s Jacksonville will take place on Sunday, Nov. 9 at UNF J.B. Coxwell Amphitheater, 1 UNF Drive, in Jacksonville.
On Walk day, participants will take part in the moving Promise Garden Ceremony, where colorful flowers symbolize the personal reasons we walk — for a loved one, as a caregiver, as a supporter, or in memory.
