FAQ
What is the CaringKind New York City Alzheimer's Walk?
The CaringKind New York City Alzheimer’s Walk is the city’s longest-standing Walk and Brain Health Day dedicated to Alzheimer’s and dementia caregiving.
This year’s Walk takes place on Saturday, October 18, 2025, beginning at 9:30 AM at the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park.
It’s more than a walk. It’s a movement. A gathering of care partners, families, advocates, clinicians, community leaders, and all those impacted by dementia, walking together in remembrance, solidarity, and hope.

Registration
Do I need to register to walk?
Yes. Think of registration as your RSVP to a powerful day of connection and purpose. It’s also how we ensure safety for all participants; each registration includes a standard liability waiver required by our insurance provider.
Is there a registration fee?
No. Participation is free, but we encourage everyone to kick off their fundraising efforts by making the first gift to their own page.
How do I register?
Visit ckwalk.org and click “Register.” You’ll create your own fundraising page in just a few easy steps.
Can I register children under 18?
Yes. After registering yourself, you’ll see an option to “register another person.” Use that to add any minors for whom you can legally sign a waiver.
Can I register someone else after I’ve completed my registration?
Each adult must register individually to accept the waiver and provide their own contact information to receive updates.
T-Shirts
Does every walker get a T-shirt?
T-shirts are available to all registered participants who raise at least $100 on their fundraising page.
Pro tip: The easiest way to qualify is to register and donate $100 to your own page.
Walk Teams
How do I create or join a team?
Click “Become a Fundraiser” on the Walk website. As the first member, you’ll become the team captain. Share your team name with friends, family, or colleagues so they can join.
Where do we walk?
The route is a 2-mile loop through Central Park ; one mile to the halfway point, one mile back. Walkers joining virtually can choose their own path and distance.
Fundraising
How do I personalize my fundraising page?
Log into your Classy account, click your profile photo in the top-right corner, and navigate to your Walk Dashboard. From there, you can update your story, add photos, and track your fundraising progress.
How do I share my page?
Use email, cards, or letters to reach out to friends and supporters; these personal touches are often the most effective. Don’t forget to share your fundraising link on social media to maximize visibility.
How is the money collected?
- Online via your fundraising page
- Checks by mail (see mailing info below)
- In-person drop-off of checks/money orders during business hours at our office: 360 Lexington Ave, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10017
Important: If you receive a check, write the walker or team name on the memo line (e.g., “Walk – Team Joe”). Never mail cash.
Can I deposit donations made to me personally?
Yes. Deposit the funds into your bank account and make a direct online donation to your Walk page. Please email walk@cknyc.org with the donor’s name and address so we can acknowledge their generosity.
