Alzheimer’s drive slated Sept. 26

By Lynsi Musselman

The Albany Chamber of Commerce and Beverly Rogers, captain of Team Albany, have joined other Big Country residents in the fight to end Alzheimer’s disease.

The Chamber has organized “Giving a Boot to Alzheimer’s, Cruise for a Cure,” to help Rogers along with Randy Hayes, who will drive up and down Main Street in Albany on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.

The “cruise night” coincides with the 2020 Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Abilene.

Chamber manager Mary Beth Jones said there will be a drive-through collection point in the Chamber parking lot where contributors can drop donations in a boot during the one-hour event. 

Jones added that all vehicles are welcome. 

Rogers has been participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s for at least 18 years and has raised nearly $75,000, and she does not plan to quit until she raises $100,000.

“I thank God for His presence in the hearts of our community,” Rogers said. “We are so thankful for the answered prayers and donations to help find a cure for Alzheimer’s.”
