Mount Kilimanjaro Grouse Grind for Alzheimer's
September 29th 2013
Each year The Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Ascent for Alzheimer’s event sends a team to Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa to raise funds and awareness for the Society.
Just as Ascent for Alzheimer’s is a team-focused journey on Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa, this spirit of camaraderie and compassionate commitment continues through the Mt. Kilimanjaro Grouse Grind for Alzheimer’s, a team-oriented event here on Grouse Mountain connected to the Mt. Kilimanjaro experience!
Mt. Kilimanjaro elevation = 19,340 feet
Grouse Mountain elevation = 2,800 feet
7: The number of trips up Grouse Grind that equal 1 ascent of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Teams are asked to complete a minimum of seven trips up the Grind in one day. (Example: With seven people on a team, each does one trip up. With five people on a team, two people have to do it twice.)
- Create a team online using our online fundraising tool then create a team page, bio, and individual pages.
- Each person sets their own individual fundraising goals of $500 or more.
- Each participant will receive as a part of their registration fee, a 2013 MKGG T-shirt, digital team photo taken (available online after the event), a food and beverage voucher to be used at our Summit Celebration on Grouse Mountain on event day.
