Golden Isles Alzheimer's Walk
On Saturday, November 7, 2026, our community will gather once again at beautiful Neptune Park on St. Simons Island for the Golden Isles Alzheimer’s Walk — a powerful morning of remembrance, hope, and action.
This inspiring, family-friendly event brings together neighbors, businesses, caregivers, and friends from across Glynn County and the surrounding Golden Isles to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
💜 Why We Walk
Every step taken on Walk day represents someone we love.
We walk for the spouse who faithfully holds a hand through every stage.
We walk for the adult child navigating hard decisions.
We walk for the neighbor, the teacher, the veteran, the friend whose memories are slowly fading — but whose life and legacy still matter deeply.
Funds raised from the Golden Isles Alzheimer’s Walk directly support:
- Local families through programs provided by Memory Matters Glynn, a local independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit offering education, counseling, support groups, social engagement activities, and resources — all free of charge.
- Research efforts at the Goizueta Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Emory University, one of the nation’s leading centers working toward better treatments and ultimately, a cure.
Together, we are making a meaningful impact — both here at home and beyond.
🌊 What to Expect
- Opening Ceremony of Remembrance in Neptune Park
- 1-mile and 2-mile walk options through the scenic Village and Pier area
- Team photos and tribute moments
