New this year – Promise Garden! Each color has a different meaning:

•Yellow- I am supporting or caring for someone with Alzheimer’s
•Purple- I have lost someone to Alzheimer’s
•Orange- I support the cause and a vision of a world without Alzheimer’s
Each walker will receive a flower and may write a message or tribute on the petals. The flowers will be left at the door as the walk begins. Walkers will return to find their flower in the Promise Garden. All flowers may be taken home by the walker.
Walk begins at the conclusion of the ceremony – Thank you to the Boettcher family for being this year’s ribbon cutters!
