MUSCATINE, IOWA (July 10, 2026) — KENT WORLDWIDE will join the Alzheimer’s Association Iowa Chapter as the Local Presenting Sponsor for the 2026 Walk to End Alzheimer’s — Muscatine Area.

The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s — Muscatine Area will be held on Saturday, October 24, at Discovery Park's Environmental Learning Center in Muscatine. On Walk Day, participants honor those affected by Alzheimer’s with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony — a mission-focused experience that signifies our solidarity in the fight against the disease.

During the ceremony, walkers will carry flowers of various colors, each color representing their personal connection to the disease.

“This is an important moment in the fight against Alzheimer’s,” said Johnnie Arnett, KENT WORLDWIDE Director of Corporate Communications.

“KENT WORLDWIDE is proud to support the Alzheimer’s Association and the critical research and care efforts they lead. Together, we can help advance a future where this disease is no longer a reality. We invite everyone to join us by forming a team to raise awareness and funds for families facing Alzheimer’s today.”

More than seven million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease in the United States. Additionally, nearly thirteen million family members and friends provide care to people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. In Iowa there are more than 62,100 people living with the disease and 80,000 unpaid caregivers.
