IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s, presented by Go Auto
The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s, presented by Go Auto, is the Alzheimer Society of BC and Yukon’s largest fundraising event. The event will see participants in communities across British Columbia walk together on the last Sunday in May to honour people affected by dementia. Funds raised through the Walk are instrumental in helping the Alzheimer Society of BC and Yukon deliver programs and services to people affected by dementia and enable research to change the future of the disease. We couldn’t do this work without the generous efforts of our fundraisers and donors!
On Sunday, May 31, join more than 2,000 fellow British Columbians to show people living with dementia, as well as their families and caregivers, they don’t have to walk alone.
