Columbine Communities Rally to End Alzheimer’s

In the Community

Each fall, Columbine Health Systems proudly participates in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, raising awareness and funds to support research, care, and advocacy for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease. This year, the Weld County Walk will take place on Saturday, October 4, 2025, and the Larimer County Walk will follow on Sunday, October 5, 2025.

In the weeks leading up to these events, our communities are hosting a variety of fundraisers to bring people together and make an impact. From meals and fairs to creative activities and special gatherings, there are many opportunities to get involved and support the cause!
