Resident Raises $36K to Help Find Cure for Alzheimer’s

Resident Dennis Marasca Jr. will participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s this Sunday in honor of his mother Elaine. This is his fourth year walking, and along with his team, he has raised over $36,000 to date for the Alzheimer’s Association.

“The walk is a chance to get together with family and friends to raise awareness,” Marasca said. “It’s a chance to turn a negative situation into a positive in hopes of raising money for research to find a cure.”

Each year Marasca has a fundraising event to raise money. The event features dinner, a raffle and silent auction.

“We’ve turned our fundraising into a social event, tying our fundraising in with the walk helps spread our story with our local community,” he said. 

This year, his event will be held Saturday, Oct. 19 from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Hillview Country Club. To help, you can attend the event or donate to Marasca's team by going to www.alzwalkMANH.org.

“There has never been a greater need to join in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease by participating in Walk to End Alzheimer’s,” said President/CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association, Massachusetts/New Hampshire Chapter James Wessler.  “We are truly grateful to Dennis and all of those participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s for their commitment.”
