From the Alzheimer's Association's website: "The Walk to End Alzheimer'sTM is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research. Held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, this inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to reclaim the future for millions. Together, we can end Alzheimer's disease, the nation's sixth-leading cause of death."
Sanguine BioSciences will sponsor the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's™ event on Sunday, November 4 at Century Park, 2000 Ave. of the Stars, Los Angeles, CA.

"Sponsoring the Walk to Remember TM is an example of the cornerstone of our business' mission – to directly engage patients in biomedical research and to provide transparency in the process. Non-profit curated events are of particular interest to us, because it provides the Company with the unique opportunity to communicate our mission directly to patients and their families, face-to-face, as opposed to exclusively employing the social web. We're excited to sponsor this event and many more in the near future." – Carlyn Crisostomo, Vice President, Clinical Strategy & Operations.
