The Alzheimer’s Association California Central Chapter expects more than 1,000 people to participate in this year’s Santa Barbara Walk to End Alzheimer’s at the Earl Warren Showgrounds on Nov. 8.
Check-in begins at 9 a.m., and the mayor of Santa Barbara, Helene Schneider, will address the crowd at the opening ceremony at 10 a.m.
A Promise Garden tribute ceremony will precede the walk to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
The walk will be a 5K route that begins at the showgrounds, loops through Loreto Plaza, continues up State Street to Hope Avenue, and ends back at the showgrounds.
