The Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter invites Bloomington and surrounding county residents to join the fight to end Alzheimer’s by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® on Sunday, September 16.

Along the walk route, participants will learn about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, volunteer opportunities, public policy initiatives and local programs and services provided by the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter. Walk participants also honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease with a poignant Promise Garden ceremony before the walk, which invites participants to display colored flowers which represent their personal connections to Alzheimer’s.

More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and the only disease among the top 10 causes that cannot be cured, prevented or even slowed. Additionally, more than 16 million caregivers provide unpaid care to people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias in the U.S. In Indiana, there are more than 110,000 people living with the disease and their 338,000 unpaid caregivers. In 2017, Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Bloomington raised more than $97,000 for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. This year, the Greater Indiana Chapter aims to raise $110,000.

WHERE & WHEN:
City Hall Plaza, 401 N. Morton Street – Bloomington, Ind.
Sunday, September 16
12 p.m. – On-site registration begins

GET INVOLVED – LOCAL CALLS TO ACTION:
Registration is now open. Walk participants are encouraged to pre-register online for free at alz.org/indiana/walk. Participants can join a team, sign up as a team captain, or register to walk as an individual. Funds raised for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s make a difference in the lives of those facing Alzheimer’s. A donation of $25 funds one toll-free, 24/7 Helpline call (800.272.3900) for Hoosiers living with Alzheimer’s or caregivers seeking information and guidance. Alzheimer’s disease doesn’t stop affecting Hoosiers after business hours, and neither does the support of the Alzheimer’s Association. In Bloomington, this support helps provide continued research, advocacy, and the continuation of the 24/7 Helpline.

SPONSORS:
Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Bloomington is supported by National Presenting Sponsor Edward Jones, Statewide Presenting Sponsor Eli Lilly & Company, and Statewide Major Sponsor Trilogy Health Services, with additional support from Garden Villa Bloomington, Autumn Hills, Jill’s House, and TriStar Engineering.

For our version of an Ekphrasis,The Venue has invited a number of gifted poets to each select one painting by one of our talented artists, to inspire them to write a poem. The Paintings they select and the Poems they write create an opportunity for you to experience some of the finest art and poetry ever exhibited in a single combined showing in Bloomington, The Venue’s Ekphrasis.
On Sunday, September 16th, and again on the following Sunday, September 23rd, divided into two groups, the painters will explain the inspiration for their painting, and their paired poets will read their poems and explain what about the painting inspired their works.
On September 16th, begining at 5:00p.m., the following painters will present their paintings: Dawn Adams, Cheryl Duckworth, Dixie Ferrer, Wyatt LeGrand, Susie Gregory, Joanne Shank, and Don Geyra, and the following poets will present their poems: Tony Brewer, LuAnne Hollaway, Eric Rensberger, Nathan Schmidt, Abugunde, Andy Hubbard, Julia Karr. This is our fourth Ekphrasis, and you are invited to attend, free. But come early to get a good seat, as this has become one of The Venue’s most popular annual events.
The demonstratively evocative paintings you will see are all for sale, at reasonable prices, and copies of the poems will also be available, free. The Venue’s regular art collection will also be available for viewing and purchase.
