We are so proud of our TOP TEAM of walkers who raised $8,255.14 for Alzheimer’s research and participated in the North Alabama Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday, Nov. 1.
This year’s fundraising goal was $3,000, so nearly tripling that amount was an exciting accomplishment for Team Captain John Sanders, manager of the senior employment program.
Employees who raised funds included Sanders; Community Services Coordinator Emmitt Davis; Alabama Cares Case Manager Melanie Washington; Economic Development Coordinator Leslie Wright; Aging & Disability Resource Center Specialist Julie Williams; Case Managers Sarita Chaloupka, Jeanne Hayes, and Brooke Campbell; Human Resources Manager Melonie Gurley; Nurse Case Manager Rosa Sanchez; Long Term Care Ombudsman Representative Vernel Mitchell; Case Manager Supervisor Jenise Watkins; and Executive Director Michelle Jordan. Family members of several team members also participated.
This year’s walk included 114 teams with 697 registered walkers. TARCOG’s Top Team ranked fifth among fundraising teams, and Davis was recognized as the fifth-highest individual fundraiser out of all 697 walkers. He raised $3,165 in honor of his mother, Clara Davis.
