The Alzheimer’s Association California Southland Chapter’s hallmark event, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s Los Angeles, is a member of the more than 600-strong Walk to End Alzheimer’s series that occurs across the country annually. The beauty of Los Angeles across its business, civic, legislative and nonprofit communities is its diverse population, coming together, across jobs, schools, parks, city services, causes, needs and every aspect of life.
Through funds raised at The Walk to End Alzheimer’s Los Angeles, event partnerships and long-term strategic planning, we strive to serve everyone in need of support, advocacy and research for Alzheimer’s and all other dementia as well as the general populations across our communities when it comes to fostering activities to stave off dementia as our population ages. Last year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s Los Angeles raised more than $400,000. When combined with nearby Walks across San Fernando Valley, Hermosa Beach, Santa Monica, San Gabriel Valley, Long Beach and Santa Clarita Valley, the total raised across Los Angeles County jumps to $1.2 million.
Through financial transparency, strategic fiscal management and an amazing board of directors that ensures the mission remains at the forefront of every penny spent, funds raised at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s Los Angeles city combined with the walks across the county ensure services are available 24/7, in 200+ languages, to serve the city’s populations across age, geography, race and ethnicity, and to help serve its constituents before, during and after they may face a dementia diagnosis.
