Press Release
EAST ISLIP, NY (February 9. 2024) – The Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center (ADRC) will host its Annual Memory Walk and Spring Festival at Marjorie R. Post Community Park, 451 Unqua Road, Massapequa, NY on Saturday, May 4, 2024. The walk will begin with registration at 8:30 am, a light breakfast, and the opening ceremony. The Memory Walk and Spring Festival is being held on May the Fourth and will have activities celebrating Star Wars as well as a Living Memory Tree to honor loved ones, Live music, photos, food, beverages, outdoor games, and more! In addition, many other community organizations are joining us and will be sharing resources with participants. This is an event you do not want to miss.
Each year, the Memory Walk serves to raise awareness about Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia, honor and remember those impacted by the disease, and raise funds for ADRC to continue to provide support and services to families on Long Island. All funds raised stay on Long Island and are put right back into serving local families impacted by the disease.
It is $30 per person to participate and Children 12 and under are FREE. Consider creating a Team and having friends and colleagues join you in raising funds and awareness. All participants will receive free goodies, breakfast, lunch, and Live Music Entertainment. Plus, we plan to have Stormtroopers join us. Participants that raise $100 or more will also receive a commemorative T-shirt. To register visit www.ADRCinc.org and click on Events.
Sharyn O’Mara of Futterman, Lanza & Pasculli, LLP says “We are honored to support the ADRC and their Memory Walk and Spring festival because ADRC helps our clients, their families and so many Long Islanders all year. When we meet with a family and there is Alzheimer’s, dementia or significant cognitive decline even without a formal diagnosis, we are relieved to have a trusted resource like ADRC to turn to. We are confident that our clients and their families will receive the guidance, help and information they desperately need at this challenging time. We have been connected with ADRC for many years and have also partnered to bring educational events to caregivers, other professionals and the community in a variety of settings.”
