What is the Alzheimer's 500?

The Alzheimer’s Association is an organization that has deeply impacted my life - personally and professionally. “Do What You Love to End ALZ” empowers supporters to turn their passions into impact, raising critical funds that advance research, expand care and support, and drive us closer to a world without Alzheimer’s and other dementias. It is an opportunity to host your own event or activity to raise funds and awareness in support of the Alzheimer’s Association.

This year my car enthusiast friends and I invite you to join us for "Alzheimer’s 500" (ALZ 500) at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, IL on Thursday, June 18th, 2026 from 10am-6pm. Pre-registration required, contact Alaina Ballance for more information. (618-444-6418 or aeballance@alz.org)

Proceeds will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association - Greater Missouri Chapter. You will help accelerate St. Louis' leadership role in solving global health problems stemming from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. A focus on early detection and healthy lifestyle changes offer hope to those who are at risk of developing the disease. Recent medical advancements for treatment now give much hope for future breakthroughs that are believed will lead to a world without Alzheimer’s.

Thank you to all our supporters

How does it work?

To access time on the track in your personal vehicle, participants must register and commit to raising funds to support our efforts. Once you register, Alaina Ballance, Fundraising Manager, will reach out to coordinate your time on the track.

The above event (“Event”) is a third-party fundraiser being held for the Alzheimer’s Association ("Association"). These sponsorships only apply to the Event. 100% of the fee that a donor pays for a listed sponsorship package becomes a non-refundable, direct donation to the Association, for which the Association will issue the donor a receipt. Other than this donation, the donor’s sponsorship of the Event creates no relationship of any kind between the Association and the donor; the Association will provide no goods or services to the donor for the donation.

The Event is not organized, managed or operated by the Association; it is organized, managed and operated by the noted fundraiser. Any recognition, benefits or promotional value associated with a sponsorship package is the sole responsibility of the fundraiser, and questions, arrangements or concerns regarding them are between the fundraiser and donor.
