Edward Jones branch associates are supporting the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Suffolk as Team ForgetMeNots with Team Walk #542531.

Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s Association care, support and research programs. The Suffolk walk will take place on Sept. 14 at YMCA Camp Arrowhead, located at 275 Kenyon Rd. Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m., and the walk begins at 10 a.m.
“Edward Jones is proud to support Walk to End Alzheimer’s and the Alzheimer’s Association,” said Shandre Harasty, an Edward Jones financial advisor. “The Alzheimer’s Association continues to provide valuable support services to individuals living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers, while also supporting critically need research. We are aware of the dramatic impact Alzheimer’s has on individuals, families and companies, so we are committed to support the Alzheimer’s Association.”
Walk to End Alzheimer’s is more than a walk. It is an inspiring experience that calls participants to unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions. In addition to the 1.5-mile walk, participants learn about Alzheimer’s disease and how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities, the latest in Alzheimer’s research and clinical trials and support programs and services.
The financial service firm is the national presenting sponsor of this year’s walk and has committed $12 million over five years to support the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association.
