Here's How you Can support the Alzheimer's Association!

Participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s Event!

Many of us are touched by Alzheimer’s disease and many are caregivers for those who are affected. Alzheimer’s disease affects more than five million Americans and is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.

That’s why John Knox Village wants you to join the team as we support those affected and participate in this great Alzheimer’s Association sponsored event. The Village’s fundraising goal is $2,500. The event will be held on Sunday, Oct. 2 at Corporate Woods in Overland Park, Kansas. Registration begins at 8 a.m., a ceremony at 9 a.m. and the Walk begins at 9:30 a.m. The Village will provide bus transportation to the event. Seating is limited. Please call the Courtyard Commons concierge at 347-2405 to reserve a seat.

Here’s a few ways you can get involve!
