Another successful Southern Crescent Alzheimer’s Memory Walk

Under beautiful autumn skies in October approximately 1,000 participants from seven counties on Atlanta’s southside (Clayton, Coweta, Fayette, Fulton, Henry, Spalding and Meriwether) enjoyed a 5K stroll along Peachtree City’s path system in recognition of the 11th Annual Southern Crescent Alzheimer’s Memory Walk.

After tabulating all donations, including sponsor, individual, team and in-kind contributions, the final result was $197,941. The total amount raised for the Alzheimer’s Association by the walks in Peachtree City over the past 11 years is an impressive $1,926,284.

During the recent Awards Banquet at Whitewater Country Club the top team from each county collecting donations was presented with a recognition plaque. The top team from Fayette County was Ashley Glen/Ivey, which raised $9,323.

The team represented Ashley Glen Assisted Living & Alzheimer’s Care in Peachtree City. The team captains were Elaine Gaillard and Joe Ivey. None of the Walk volunteers receive compensation.
