Indy Walk to End Alzheimer’s
2024-09-28 | IUI Carroll Stadium, 1001 W New York St, Indianapolis, IN, 46202, United States
The Alzheimer’s Association’s Indianapolis Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be Saturday, Sept. 28 at Indiana University-Indianapolis’ Michael A. Carroll Stadium.
This event is one in a series that makes up the world’s largest event dedicated to Alzheimer’s care, support and research.
“This is a pivotal moment in the fight against Alzheimer’s. There are now treatments that change the course of the disease,” said Morgan Jessup, director for Walk to End Alzheimer’s — Indianapolis. “We hope that everyone in our community can join us by starting a team to help the Alzheimer’s Association raise awareness and funds for families facing the disease today, take more steps toward treatments and ultimately a cure.”
During the event, participants can honor those affected and lost through Alzheimer’s with the Promise Garden ceremony, where walkers will carry colored flowers to represent personal connections to the disease.

In 2023, the walk raised nearly $1.3 million. The goal for this year’s walk is $1.5 million.
“We are so grateful to this community for leading the way to end this disease — in more ways than one,” said Natalie Sutton, executive director for the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter. “Not only is Indianapolis one of the top cities in the country when it comes to fundraising, we are home to some of the most exciting dementia research currently underway. There are now two FDA-approved treatments to slow the progression of this disease in the early stages — with more on the way. This is tremendous progress — but we won’t stop fighting until there is a cure.”
Nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, and more than 11 million provide care for Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
