MATCHING GIFT CHALLENGE!: Better Media Group wants to help in this fight and has generously agreed to match every gift up to a total of $10,000 raised by participants in our Chicago, Lake County County and North Shore Walk to End Alzheimer's between September 26-30. Make a self-donation, write another social media post or email to help us to get to $10,000. If each participant raises $25, we would be able to unlocak the $10,000 gift from Better. 

T-shirts and Champion Swag will all be mailed directly to participants. Please note there will be no shirts available for pick up on walk day. If you raised $100 by September 7, you will receive your t-shirt by walk day. If you raised $100 after September 7, you will receive your walk t-shirt after walk day.
