You are invited to help paint the town purple!

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s provides an opportunity to support our friends at the Alzheimer’s Association, raise awareness about dementia, and support those in our community who are impacted by this disease. There are lots of ways for area businesses and organizations to participate!

· “Think purple” on Walk Day!  Wear purple…display purple…face paint purple…temporary hair dye purple…

· Display posters – preprinted or “home made” – inside and outside your workplace!

· If your business is on the walk route, consider displaying posters visible by walkers thanking them for their efforts…or step outside on October 5th and cheer them on!

· Recruit a group of colleagues to walk together!

· Talk to Care Partners about providing a coupon or voucher to include in walker “thank you “ bags! Ideas include a discount coupon, BOGO offer, or small gift or promo product.

· Financially support the walk by going to the Grand Marais Team page and clicking “Donate to the Team” – or by holding an in-store or in-office fundraiser! (For example, place coin collection boxes on a counter or in a break room.

*In case of inclement weather, the walk will be held indoors at the Cook County YMCA

Route walk begins at The Hub, crosses to Wisconsin St, and follows the Gitchi-Gami Trail. Participants can walk .25 to 3.0 miles.
