Do I have to pay a registration fee?
No, the Miles of Memories Walk is a completely free event. However, we do encourage walkers to fundraise and there is no minimum as to how much you raise. Each individual who raises $50 will receive a Miles of Memories Walk t-shirt!
How do I form a team?
Teams can be formed from groups of co-workers, friends, families, or a combination of these. Your personal webpage makes it easy to recruit team members. Just log into your webpage and from the welcome page select the link under ‘Collect Donations!’ A link to your webpage will pop-up to easily email friends and family. For help call Catherine at 508-775-5656.
Is there any special recognition for those with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia?
Yes, participants are encouraged to fill out an “I’m Walking in honor of ________” sticker.
Are there prizes?
No, the Walk does not have prizes so that more of your contributions go toward direct services. However, everyone that raises $50 will receive a Miles of Memories Walk t-shirt.
The t-shirts have been an ongoing tradition for the Miles of Memories Walk and continue to raise awareness all year-round as people wear them around the Cape and Islands. The t-shirts are printed right here on the Cape by Cape Cod Textiles in Sandwich and the cost is off-set by our walk sponsors.
Are there any special benefits for top walkers?
Absolutely! Started in 2010, any individual who raises $250+ will be honored at the walk with a nifty 250 award. Additionally, each top walk team at all the walk locations is also recognized.
What if I can’t make it to the walk or do not wish to walk? Can I still participate?
If you can’t attend the event you can still participate as a virtual walker. Sign up online and you can fundraise right from your personal webpage. You can also fundraise on your own and turn-in the contributions. Many people are unable to do the walk, but attend with their family or friends and enjoy the many festivities of the day.
How do I turn in checks donors give me?
You can drop off your entire walker envelope at the welcome tent (registration) the morning of the walk. Registration is from 11-12:00pm.
