February may be the shortest month of the year, but there’s plenty of time to make a big impact for Walk to End Alzheimer’s® 2026. Now’s the time to zip into action!
Gear up for the year ahead with a NEW fundraising challenge, which runs February 1-28 for registrants at all North Carolina Walk locations.
Every individual registrant who raises $250 during February will earn a special-edition full-zip Walk windbreaker. Sporty, wind-resistant and water-resistant, this neutral black jacket will be perfect for both spring and fall! Register today to start using our fundraising tools.
Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, team captains, donors, advocates, participants, and countless supporters, we are seeing real momentum in the fight against Alzheimer’s and other dementia. Your commitment is not only building awareness, it’s accelerating science.
