Walk to End Alzheimer's Garden of Hope

At the end of April, the Alzheimer’s Association announced that more than 7 million Americans are now living with Alzheimer’s disease — a number expected to grow as our population ages.

But there is reason for hope.

At the heart of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the Promise Garden, where each flower represents how we are all impacted by the disease. This May, we’re inviting you to help “Grow Our Garden of Hope” — by planting seeds of change, nurturing a movement, and blooming with possibility.

Here’s how you can grow your impact this May:

• Plant your seed:🌼 Raise $50 and receive a bamboo blossom kit for your windowsill - a daily reminder of the hope you're cultivating.

• Water your garden:👕 Raise $100 to earn your official 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer’s T-shirt!

• Watch your garden bloom: 🤍 Raise $300 and receive an exclusive White Stanley Cup — a symbol of the White Flower from our Promise Garden Ceremony, representing hope for a future without Alzheimer’s.

**Incentives must be earned through additional funds raised between May 12-31. Each participant is eligible for ONE T-shirt, which will be shipped the week of the Walk. 

Our families, our economy and our communities continue to feel the impact of this disease. But every dollar you raise fuels research, provides care, and brings us one step closer to ending Alzheimer’s. 

Thank you for being part of this movement. Together, we will grow hope – and walk toward a world without Alzheimer’s. Register at alzheimers-illinois.org/walk
