Mankato Area Residents are Invited to Join the Walk to End Alzheimer’s Volunteer Committee
The Alzheimer’s Association MN-ND Chapter is currently seeking volunteer committee members to assist in planning the Walk to End Alzheimer’s® – Greater Mankato, scheduled for the morning of Oct. 4, 2025. This hopeful, casual event helps the Association keep its local education classes, support groups, 24/7 Helpline and resources free for individuals and families. Funds also advance critical dementia research for treatments and a cure. It will take place at Spring Lake Park in North Mankato.
Walk volunteers can choose from several options that focus on planning the event, growing community support, or helping with event logistics. Volunteering is a meaningful way to fight for a different future, honor someone you know or have lost, and connect with others. It is also an opportunity to build personal leadership, fundraising and event planning skills. Anyone interested can reach out to senior walk manager Rebekah Hartman at 507.246.3587 or rlhartman@alz.org.
Registration for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Greater Mankato is now open, and community members are encouraged to sign up and fundraise to help the Alzheimer’s Association reach its $125,000 goal. Sign up is free at act.alz.org/mankato, and each person receives their own fundraising web page that is easy to personalize and share.
