Simon School Team M.B.A. Walks to Support Alzheimer's Research

Release Date: Sep 21, 2007

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Charla Stevens Kucko, (585) 273-4806

Rochester, N.Y.—September 21, 2007-Team M.B.A. at the University of Rochester's Simon Graduate School of Business will again gather to help those in need—this time to participate in the Alzheimer's Memory Walk at 10 a.m. on September 29, 2007 at Thompson Health in Canandaigua to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's research.

Memory Walk is the Alzheimer's Association's signature event to promote awareness and raise funds to support research and improve the lives of millions of Americans affected by this disease.

Team M.B.A. is an initiative in which students, faculty, staff and friends of the M.B.A. community gather together to perform community service or participate in charity events to promote goodwill. This past spring, the Simon team provided the residents of St. Ann's Community a good old fashioned sock hop, helping them relive the memories of years gone by.

The Simon team's goal is to raise $5,000 for Alzheimer's research. For more information, visit the Team M.B.A. Web site.
