Canton, NY – Members of the SUNY Canton softball team took time out of their busy weekends to volunteer and walk at the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's on Sunday, September 7, 2014.

The walk was held at Partridge Run Golf and Country Club, home of the Roos golf team. The community rallied together to raise $38,000 to fund crucial Alzheimer's research and provide care and support services to families in Northern New York.

Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's participants participate in a three-mile walk and learn more about Alzheimer's disease, advocacy opportunities, clinical trial enrollment, and support programs and services of the Alzheimer's Association. Each walker also joined in a meaningful tribute ceremony to honor those affected by Alzheimer's disease.
