MidlandToday received the following letter from the Alzheimer Society of Simcoe County regarding the Walk for Alzheimer's.
********************
The 23rd Annual IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s was a tremendous success.
We set new records this year – 314 participants, 48 teams, and a record number of corporate and media sponsors.
Together we raised over $100,000! And we're still counting.
This year our theme was walk 10,006 steps for 10,006 people living with dementia in Simcoe County. You walked with us and showed the people living with dementia in Simcoe County that they are not walking this journey alone.
We send our thanks to everyone who participated, donated and sponsored the walk. The funds raised will stay in the community to support critical programs and services offered across Simcoe County by the Alzheimer Society of Simcoe County. As the number of people diagnosed with dementia continues to climb we ultimately hope for a cure, but until then we will keep walking.
We thank you and look forward to your continued support!
In other news, we're launching Catch the Ace!
We are so excited to share that the Alzheimer Society Catch the Ace has launched, and tickets are now available to purchase for our first draw happening on Thursday, June 10 at 6:30 p.m.
Tickets start at $10 and provide you with a chance to win BIG in both a weekly prize and a larger progressive jackpot with 50 per cent of all ticket sales going to the Alzheimer Society.
How it works:
- Purchase your tickets and choose an envelope that could contain the Ace of Spades.
- Wait until the weekly draw every Thursday at 6:30 PM to see if your ticket is chosen. If it is, you’ll win 20 per cent of that week’s ticket sales. If your card is the Ace of Spades, you’ll also win the Catch the Ace Progressive Jackpot.
- If the card chosen is not the Ace of Spades, the progressive jackpot will continue to grow and that card is removed from the deck, increasing the chances of catching the ace next week!
- Weekly draws continue until the Ace of Spades is caught.
Visit HERE to buy your tickets now, pick your envelope, and feel good knowing that 50% of your ticket purchase goes to the Alzheimer Society.
