Local residents will be lacing up their shoes in support of those living with dementia.
The annual IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s is set to take place Saturday, May 24.
This year’s fundraiser also includes a number of lead-up events, including a 50/50 raffle with a base jackpot of $5000, courtesy of Enbridge. Tickets can be purchased online at www.asck5050.com or at the ASCK office. A pair of trivia events are also being held at Turns and Tales in Chatham on May 4, and Red Barn Brewing Company in Blenheim on May 27.
The walk itself, being held at Kingston Park in Chatham, will run from 10am until noon with live music, door prizes, a petting farm, and more.
The organization is hoping to raise $70,000 this year to meet the increasing demand for services. All proceeds stay in Chatham-Kent and support those affected by dementia, including care partners and family members.
