FAQ

Do I have to raise money to participate?

The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s is the Alzheimer Society's biggest annual fundraiser. We rely on the money raised to continue the important work we do. 

However, we want everyone to participate, and you don't have to raise money to do so. When you walk with us, you help spread the word and build a stronger community of support for families living with dementia.

What payment methods can people use to donate?

You can collect pledges online — we accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express. We also accept cash and cheque donations mailed or brought to your local Alzheimer Society or Walk.

Will my sponsors receive a tax receipt?

Yes! Online donations are issued an automatic tax receipt by email. Offline donations (cash or cheque) will be issued a tax receipt by mail in June or July following the Walk.

Will I receive a tax receipt if I sponsor myself?

Yes! Online donations are issued an automatic tax receipt by email. Offline donations (cash or cheque) will be issued a tax receipt by mail in June or July following the Walk.

How will the money be used?

The funds raised will help:

• Someone newly diagnosed with dementia learn about the disease and navigate their journey.
  
• A care partner understand how to support someone with dementia.
• Care partners and people living with dementia connect with a community of people going through similar experiences.
• Support dementia research.
