Why I Will Walk to End Alzheimer's

Recycling fundraiser for SHIRLEY'S SOLDIERS & our Walk to End Alzheimer's.

As Team Captain for SHIRLEY'S SOLDIERS, I am participating again this year in the Walk to End Alzheimer's which is an event that raises awareness and funds to advance care, support, and research.  

I realize most household budgets are straining to purchase essentials, leaving very little, if any, to contribute to a worthy cause. Do you know that the Recycling Bank of Gwinnett (4300 Satellite Blvd, Duluth) will PAY for aluminum cans (soda, beer, etc.) & plastic bottles (water, soda, any with number 1 in recycle triangle)? Yes, it might be pocket change for you but if you designate your amount as a contribution to SHIRLEY'S SOLDIERS & our Walk to End Alz then your contribution will be added with many others. Donations can be made between now and September 21st, the day of the Walk.

Please consider this alternative & help a worthy cause at the same time.
