The Alzheimer Society of Chatham-Kent (ASCK) is inviting residents to walk or play until the end of May for their annual IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s fundraiser.
New elements are being introduced to this year’s fundraising event.
Participants can Play for Alzheimer’s by purchasing tickets for ASCK’s 50/50 raffle that has a starting jackpot of $1,000 courtesy of Chatham Honda.
Tickets are 5 for $5, 30 for $20, 100 for $50, and 200 for $75.
They can be purchased online at www.asck5050.com or in-person.
Stay connected to ASCK’s social media accounts to find out where they will be selling tickets in the community.
Another way to Play for Alzheimer’s is by registering for trivia nights at Red Barn Brewing Company on Thursday, May 9th and at Glasstown Brewing Company on Saturday, May 11th.
Registration details and more information to come.
Like every year, the Walk season will come to an exciting end with the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s, which is taking place on Saturday, May 25 at Kingston Park in Chatham from 10am to 12pm.
Live music, local vendors, face painting, games, collaborative artwork and more activities are on tap for this year’s Walk.
ASCK is once again encouraging local businesses and long-term care/retirement homes to compete in a fundraising challenge.
All that is required to participate is to register a team for the Walk and begin raising funds.
The business and the home that raises the most funds will each win the Heart & Sole Award along with further recognition.
The annual Dawn Butler Memorial Awards will also be presented to the top individual and team fundraisers.
Whether you walk, play, or do both, you are assisting ASCK to meet the increasing demand for their services and you will also be driving them towards this year’s goal of $65,000!
