The Alzheimer’s Association announced that its 2024 Walk to End Alzheimer’s® – Charlotte has been ranked No. 24 in the nation out of the Alzheimer’s Association’s 2024 Top 30 Walks.
The Charlotte fundraiser has been included in this top ranking since 2016 and is the largest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s and other dementia awareness, care, support and research. Nearly 2,000 participants in the 2024 Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Charlotte raised an incredible $744,500.
“We appreciate our Walk participants, volunteers, sponsors and staff for consistently making this event so successful and impactful to our community,” said Katherine Lambert, CEO, Alzheimer’s Association – Western Carolina Chapter. “The critical funds raised make a difference for the 210,000 North Carolinians living with Alzheimer’s and their 373,000 caregivers.”
Rankings are earned by overall event revenue, and include walks from over 600 communities nationwide. In 2024, more than 371,000 people participated in more than 600 Walks across the country, raising $103 million — a record amount for any single year since the inception of the world’s largest event to fight the disease.
“These vital funds enable the Association to deliver 24/7 care and support, advocate fearlessly for people facing the disease and fuel groundbreaking research across the globe,” said Coulter Warlick, volunteer chair of the 2024 Executive Leadership Team for Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Charlotte. “And this is only the beginning. With the current advances in treatment, our work is more important than ever. We won’t rest until everyone living with the disease — at any stage — can get the treatment, care and support they need and deserve.”
On behalf of all those we serve, we can’t thank you enough, North Carolina, for your support of Walk to End Alzheimer’s in 2024. Together, we raised over $3 million for Alzheimer’s research care and support. The most ever collectively raised across the state.
