The Georgia Alzheimer’s Foundation will host the Golden Isles Alzheimer’s Walk on Saturday, September 25 at Neptune Park/St. Simons Pier Village. To kick-off the event the walk committee will host a special event at Mellow Mushroom SSI on Thursday, July 29 from 5-7 pm. The kick-off event is open to the public and attendees are encouraged to stop by for food, fellowship and to learn more about the event in September.

Founded in May 2020, the Georgia Alzheimer’s Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to support innovative research and local community services for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. The Georgia Alzheimer’s Foundation identifies leaders in the field who support our mission and vision and provides funding opportunities to qualified beneficiaries through our annual fundraising efforts. The Foundation is honored to be supporting Memory Matters Glynn, located in Brunswick, Ga. Memory Matters provides support services including education, social activities for persons with memory impairment, individual consultations, memory screening and support groups in Glynn County. In addition to supporting local service organization Memory Matters Glynn, a portion of the Walk proceeds will also support the Goizueta Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga.
