John Mitty Wednesday, August 14, 2013

On August 24, Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center, Inc. will host its 2^nd Annual Riverhead Walk for Alzheimer’s & Clambake, which will be held in beautiful downtown Riverhead. Continental breakfast and registration will start at 9 a.m., with opening ceremonies at 10 a.m. and a ribbon cutting and start of the Walk at 11 a.m.

The Walk will begin at Milton L. Burns Park (formerly Grangebel Park) at Peconic Avenue and go along the scenic waterfront, ending at the Long Island Aquarium & Exhibition Center. After the Walk, participants who raise $100 or more will enjoy a clambake and buffet lunch and full access to the aquarium, while children will take part in a scavenger hunt.

Those in attendance will also have the opportunity to learn about Alzheimer’s Disease and how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities, the latest in Alzheimer’s research and clinical trial enrollment to support programs and services.

This year’s fundraising goal is $50,000. Last year, more than 200 people took part in the Riverhead Walk and Clambake, with the fundraising goal of $25,000. Through the efforts of these individuals and teams who took part in this event, they exceeded the goal by raising more than $35,000.

Registration for teams and individuals is still ongoing. For more information, or to register, call Mary Ann Malack-Ragona, Executive Director/CEO, at (631) 820-8068 or visit www.adrcinc.org.
