Join Cedarhurst for the 2026 Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®

Cedarhurst Senior Living® is proud to continue its partnership as a National Team for the 2026 Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®, reinforcing our deep and ongoing commitment to Alzheimer’s advocacy, research, and support for families impacted by the disease.

For Cedarhurst, this partnership is more than a designation — it reflects who we are. Across our communities, we serve residents and families navigating Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia every day. Supporting the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association aligns naturally with our promise to create communities where every individual feels loved, valued, supported, and able to live life to the fullest.

The impact of this collective movement continues to grow. Because of Cedarhurst’s longstanding commitment — alongside thousands of passionate advocates nationwide — the 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer’s achieved an extraordinary milestone, surpassing $112 million raised nationwide. Even more impressively, the Walk National Team program set a record of $17.5 million raised across participating organizations.

Within that national momentum, Cedarhurst and Cedar Creek communities made a powerful mark. In 2025, our teams raised a combined $84,193, reflecting the dedication, creativity, and heart of the people who show up every day to support our residents, families, and neighbors — and who carried that same passion into their Walk fundraising efforts.

“There is real progress happening in the fight against Alzheimer’s. As treatments evolve and research accelerates, our role is to remain engaged, vocal, and supportive. Our National Team partnership allows Cedarhurst and Cedar Creek communities to be part of something bigger, creating meaningful change for the families we serve.”

— Almir Sajtovic, President of Cedarhurst Senior Living

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s remains the world’s largest fundraiser dedicated to Alzheimer’s care, support, and research. One of the most meaningful moments of each event is the Promise Garden ceremony, where participants carry flowers of different colors representing their connection to the disease — whether living with Alzheimer’s, caring for someone who is, having lost a loved one, or supporting the cause. Together, these flowers create a powerful visual symbol of unity and hope.

For Cedarhurst communities, Walk day is more than a fundraiser. It is a visible expression of our philosophy — residents sharing their stories, families honoring loved ones, team members walking side by side, and communities coming together in solidarity and hope.

Worldwide, more than 55 million people are living with dementia, including nearly 7 million Americans with Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Association continues to lead the way in accelerating research breakthroughs, expanding support services, and advocating for policies that benefit those affected.

Now in 2026, Cedarhurst communities are building on that momentum — striving to grow participation, deepen engagement, and exceed previous fundraising efforts. Every dollar raised helps fund critical research, education, and free support services for families facing this disease.
