Boca, Delray, Boynton, Deerfield and Parkland residents are all invited to attend the FIRST ever Kick Off Party for Boca's First Ever Walk To End Alzheimer's Walk.Â
Did you know that 1 in 6 women and 1 in 11 men over the age of 65 will be diagnosed with Alzheimer's?? We have over 500,000 documented cases in Florida alone and women are 2x more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's than breast cancer!!!
Come support, shop at the silent auction and have fun all while raising funds and awareness.
The End to Alzheimer'sÂ
Starts with YOU!Â

The Today show on NBC just reported that a woman's estimated lifetime risk of developing Alzheimer's at age 65 is 1 in 6, compared with nearly 1 in 11 for a man. Also, did you know that a woman is 2x likely to develop Alzheimers than she is to develop breast cancer?!!! and yet, despite being our nation's biggest health threat, Alzheimer's disease is still largely misunderstood. Unless something is done to change the course of the disease, there could be as many as 16 million Americans living with Alzheimer's in 2050, at a cost of $1.2 trillion (in current dollars). So you may not know someone affected or be affected yourself, but as a taxpayer, your pocketbook surely will!!!

Together, let’s make Boca’s first time hosting the National Walk to End Alzheimers a truly successful event on October 11th.Â
 Did you know that if you register a team, have 30 people on that team AND raise $3000, you will have a tent in Mizner Amphitheater, where the walk starts?Â
Also, if you sponsor the event by this July, and for a minimum of $1000, you can have your business name on the walk tshirts.Â
Plus, our kick off party on May 29 (details to follow) is a perfect time to showcase your business by offering a silent auction item.Â
