Great Efforts at Memory Walk 2010

On Saturday, October 9, 2010, Sigma Kappa collegiate and alumnae members participated in Memory Walk at the Sparks Marina.
As a sorority, one of the causes we fundraise for is Alzheimer's Disease Research. This year, we raised $6,126.00!!! We were ranked the top team at the event. See our team page.

Collegiate member Haley Wisner was the top money maker on the team, raising $250.00. We are so proud of everyone.

Here are a few facts about Alzheimer's Disease:
  • Alzheimer's is a brain disease that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.
  • Currently more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's.
  • 78 million baby boomers are at risk.
  • Alzheimer's has no current cure, but treatments for symptoms are available and research continues.
