FAYETTEVILLE, N.C., Oct. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- McKee Homes, a family-owned North Carolina homebuilder known for thoughtful design and community-focused values, is proud to continue its commitment to the Alzheimer's Association through the 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer's in Raleigh-Durham. Founders Pat and Mike McKee started the company in honor of their father, Joe McKee, who lost a ten-year battle with the disease.
Every home McKee builds carries a piece of that story. A portion of each sale is donated through the Joe McKee Memorial Alzheimer's Fund, supporting research, care, and advocacy. For homebuyers, this means their purchase goes beyond bricks and mortar, helping fuel progress toward a world without Alzheimer's.
"Alzheimer's has touched our family in a very personal way," said Pat McKee, Owner of McKee Homes. "We know what it's like to watch someone you love lose their memories, and we don't want other families to go through that without support. That's why this walk, and the work the Alzheimer's Association does, is so important to us."
The 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer's in the Triangle will be held on Saturday, October 4 at Halifax Mall in Raleigh. Registration begins at 9 a.m., with the opening ceremony and walk starting at 10 a.m. Participants can choose a one-mile or two-mile route through downtown.
The event brings together families, caregivers, and community members, all walking with the shared goal of ending the disease. Funds raised during the event go directly to the Alzheimer's Association to provide care and support while advancing research toward prevention, treatment, and ultimately a cure.
There is no fee to register, but participants are encouraged to make a personal donation and help with fundraising efforts. Volunteers are also needed for event-day support, including registration, set-up, and Promise Garden activities.
The Promise Garden ceremony is one of the most moving parts of the Walk, with participants carrying flowers in different colors that represent their personal connection to the disease. It's a visual reminder of just how many lives are touched by Alzheimer's and why the fight to end it matters.
"The Triangle has always shown up for this cause, and we're grateful to be part of that," McKee added. "It's a great event that shows families they aren't alone. Every step we take is a reminder that we're all in this fight together."
McKee Homes invites homeowners, trade partners, and community members to join the team at this year's Walk. Those unable to attend can still support the cause by making a donation through the Alzheimer's Association website. Links to register, donate, or volunteer can be found on McKee Homes' Community Embrace page and the Alzheimer's Association event page.
