Registration – While all participants are strongly encouraged to register prior to Walk Day those that might not

Participants can also make donations and drop them off at Registration. They just need to fill out the walk

stores any lost items for people to come and pick them up.
Greeters – Greet every participant that enters the walk event. Ask them if they are already registered and then
provide them with the QR code to register through their phone. For those that wish to not use their phone
they can register at the Registration table. Also, be able to answer any walk related questions and be sure to
share details about event schedule and areas to check out (i.e. fun zone, sponsor exhibit space, promise
garden, restroom location)
Volunteer/Sponsor Check-In – Greet every sponsor/volunteer who checks in and show them where their
exhibit space and area they are assign to volunteer. For the volunteers who check-in please provide them with
a t-shirt, their assignment, name tag and any relevant information or materials they will need for their
particular assignment. Sponsors also receive a different shirt and those will be provided with the list.
Champions Club Tent – This is our VIP area for anyone that has raised $500+. Volunteers in our Champions
Club area will be greeting our Champions Club members and/or checking them into this area. We will provide

Fun Zone – This family-friendly area has games and activities for all ages to enjoy. The volunteers in this area
will help facilitate the activities and games.
Refreshments Area – Provide water and snacks for all participants.
Promise Garden Pick up – The Promise Garden is the key mission area at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Each
color symbolizes each person’s connection to the cause. This is a very powerful moment for many of the Walk
participants, especially if used to hold the yellow flower and now hold the purple flower. Be kind and listen to
their stories, if they wish to share. If they want more than one color, please give them whatever color they
wish to hold.
• Blue – You are living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia
• Yellow – You are caring for or supporting someone who is living with Alzheimer’s or dementia
• Purple – You have lost someone to Alzheimer’s or dementia
• Orange – You do not have a personal connection to the cause but you support a mission of a world
without Alzheimer’s or other dementia.
Photo Area with promise garden planting – This is an area for teams and participants to take their photo with
their friends and family members to commemorate their experience at the Walk. Also, people can plant their
flowers in this area and leave it or come back to pick it up. Please help people take their photos in this area
and encourage them to post on our social media pages and use #Walk2EndAlz #ENDALZ
Route Guides/Parking Assistance – Help direct people to the Walk Village from the Parking Lot if you are a
route guide, help direct people along the route path so that they know the correct way to go. If there is an
emergency along the path, please call the staff partner (listed on the lanyard you will be wearing).

past.
