Tau Omicron Zeta: November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month



 

November was Alzheimer’s Awareness Month and the Sorors of Tau Omicron Zeta supported their local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association of Augusta at their 2012 Walk to End Alzheimer’s.  The walk was held on Saturday, November 3, 2012 at the Augusta Commons.

TOZ Sorors manned the table where walkers picked up colored pinwheels to carry during their walk to identify their connection to the disease.  Alzheimer's disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and the only cause of death among the top 10 in the United States that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed.
