Walk4ALZ Recap
Walk4ALZ 2024 started on a beautiful Saturday in Balboa Park, with our CEO Eugenia Welch and CBS 8’s Carlo Cecchetto congratulating the top teams and welcoming the crowd to the event. This year’s Walk4ALZ 2024 Mascot, Tucker, helped lead off the Walk and the approximate 1,500 participants! The event was a success once again, as we were able to raise over $430,000 and counting – the Walk website will still be taking donations until December 1st. We’re appreciative of everyone who was able to join us to Walk for their loved ones, as well as those who donated and raised even more funds to help the San Diego community.
