Introducing Courtney Schneider, your BANK VI Hero of the Week!

Courtney was nominated for her efforts in raising awareness for Alzheimer’s Disease and for raising money through the Salina Alzheimer’s Walk.

The Salina Alzheimer’s Walk is an annual event that Courtney started in 2014. The event was originally designed to raise funds to be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association. This years walk will benefit the needs of local Alzheimer’s patients and their families.

Each walk, which takes place at Jerry Ivey Park, also has other events and activities such as a bounce house, a memorabilia sale and a memory garden, which a flower can be purchased for a family member that has Alzheimer’s or for a family member that has passed away from the disease.

Courtney’s efforts in the fight against Alzheimer’s continue to expand, with the addition of a Mini-Walk which will take place on the evening of November 18th. This event will also raise money and will have involvement with Pinnacle Park, Presbyterian Manor, Brookdale Salina, Smoky Hill, and Arbor Court, who will all have Mini-Walk’s within their communities.

Courtney is very passionate about raising awareness to Alzheimer’s Disease and the fight to find a cure. Those close to her say she does a fantastic job and has lots of supporters.
