We did it! About four years ago one of our Board members, Tasha Vigil, had a dream to organize a walk to raise money for respite and other types of assistance for dementia caregivers in need. Just as we were formulating plans for the walk in 2020, COVID struck. While plans were dashed for over 2 years, Tasha and her team were formulating plans for what the perfect event would look like. Saturday, July 30th was the day of our inaugural walk, CHERISH THE MOMENTS. What an event it was! It was cool and the sky was overcast with no rain. The force was with us; it was perfect. Our sincere thanks go out to the 181 walk participants, 18 sponsors, and all the vendors for their very generous support. We could not have done it without all your support. After expenses, more than $7,500 was raised and it will, indeed, fulfill our plans to provide several types of assistance to caregivers.
Thank you to everyone in the community who supported us, and to the walk committee team who did a spectacular job!
Together we are helping to improve the quality of life for people with dementia and fostering an attitude of compassion and understanding for people living with this disease.
Be watching for news about our next walk in 2023.
