THIS COMING SATURDAY, 11/3/18!
Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s disease care, support and research. We walk for future generations so they may never know the devastation of this disease. We all have a reason to end Alzheimer’s and help put a stop to the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death.
For those of you that may not know… In 1994, Jimmy’s father, James Delaney Buffett, Jr. was stricken with Alzheimer’s disease and passed away at age 83 in May of 2003, several years after being diagnosed.
Please join us as we Party With A Purpose for Alzheimer’s by joining the team, donating or attending the September and/or October SSOM! Both months we will be dedicating to raising money for Alz with a 50/50 raffle and a possibly a silent auction.
This year’s Walk will be held at the LA Zoo! Not only do you get free admission and a lovely and much cooler place to walk, but they will also be feeding some of the animals. Feel free to bring your kids / grandkids for a lovely Sunday morning stroll, followed by an After-Party on the Patio at the TallyRand Restaurant, 1700 W Olive Ave, Burbank, CA 91506.
Details, details…
