Walk to End Alzheimer's and other dementia

Join the Alzheimer’s Association at Grand Boulevard to walk in support of those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementia.

Event Schedule

• Registration: 9:30 AM
• Ceremony: 10:30 AM
• Walk: Immediately following the ceremony

Location: Grand Boulevard, 600 Grand Blvd, Miramar Beach, FL 32550

Registration and Fundraising

Registration is free, but every walker, including children, must register. A parent or guardian can register a child and sign the required waiver on their behalf.

Participants are encouraged to make a personal donation and raise funds. All funds raised support the Alzheimer’s Association’s care, support, and research efforts. Donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Registered participants who raise $100 or more will receive an official Walk to End Alzheimer’s T-shirt by mail. To receive a shirt in time for Walk day, reach the fundraising minimum at least four weeks before the event.

If you receive donations by check or money order, you can mail or hand-deliver them to your local Alzheimer’s Association office. Include your offline donation form so the donations are credited to your fundraising page. They typically appear online within one to two weeks. You can also deposit checks through the Walk to End Alzheimer’s mobile app.

What to Know Before You Go

• Weather: The walk takes place rain or shine. In the event of severe weather, check the Walk homepage on or before the morning of the event for a cancellation update.
• Strollers and pets: Strollers are welcome. Well-behaved dogs may be permitted depending on location rules and must remain leashed. For everyone’s safety, skateboards, bicycles, inline skates, and wheelie footwear are discouraged.

Promise Garden

Every registered participant will receive a Promise Garden flower. Choose the color that represents your connection to the cause:

• Blue: Someone living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia
• Purple: Someone who has lost a loved one to the disease
• Yellow: Someone supporting or caring for a person living with Alzheimer’s
• Orange: Someone who supports the cause and the Association’s vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia

Volunteers Needed

Volunteers are needed for setup, cleanup, registration, water stops, the Promise Garden, and other event-day roles. Visit the Walk volunteer page to learn more.
