Alzheimer Walk & Run; supported by Global Calgary & 770 CHQR

For over 30 years, the IG Wealth Management Alzheimer Walk & Run has raised funds and awareness for the Alzheimer Society of Calgary, so we can continue supporting local families impacted by dementia.

This event has become a long-standing tradition for the Calgary community. Last year alone, over 500 passionate people, families, and caregivers impacted by dementia took part virtually, raising over $200,000 for essential programs and services. The annual event raises awareness, breaks down stigma, fosters a community of support for impacted families, and raises much-needed funds for local programs at the Alzheimer Society of Calgary.

This year, on Thanksgiving Sunday, October 9, we are excited to return to in-person activities as we take strides for dementia, together.

The Alzheimer Society of Calgary has been supporting persons with dementia, their families, and caregivers for over 40 years. As a leader in our community, we strive to ensure people with dementia, their families, and caregivers have access to high-quality education, care, and support throughout their journey.
For many families, a dementia diagnosis can be scary and overwhelming. It changes a family forever – stories of fear, stress, anxiety, and struggle are common amongst families facing a diagnosis. But so are stories of perseverance and hope.

In Calgary alone, over 17,000 people are living with dementia. Countless others in our community are navigating the journey alongside their loved ones. In the next decade, the number of dementia diagnoses is expected to double. The need to arm our community with emerging, evidence-based information and local resources has never been greater.

As the largest fundraising event for Alzheimer Calgary, the 2022 IG Wealth Management Alzheimer Walk & Run will support programs and services right here in Calgary.
