Central Oregon Community College (COCC) will be showcasing a Promise Garden filled with pinwheels prior to the Central Oregon Walk to End Alzheimer’s event, as reported by KTVZ. This symbolic garden aims to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s disease and honor those affected by it.
The Promise Garden will consist of colorful pinwheels representing different aspects of the disease, such as support for patients and caregivers, hope for a cure, and remembrance of loved ones lost to Alzheimer’s. Individuals participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s will have the opportunity to plant a pinwheel in the garden as a sign of solidarity and commitment to finding a cure.
Alzheimer’s disease is a growing concern in the United States, with an estimated 6.2 million Americans currently living with the condition. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is a nationwide event organized by the Alzheimer’s Association to raise funds for research, support services, and advocacy efforts. By participating in the walk and visiting the Promise Garden, community members can show their support for those impacted by Alzheimer’s and contribute to the fight against the disease.
COCC’s involvement in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s and the creation of the Promise Garden demonstrates the college’s commitment to community engagement and social responsibility.
