Volunteer Opportunities From: United Way of Greater Baytown Area and Chambers County

Every step matters in the fight to end Alzheimer’s. On Saturday, October 4, join the Alzheimer’s Association and hundreds of neighbors at Bayland Park & Bayland Marina for the annual Baytown Walk to End Alzheimer’s—a powerful community event raising funds and awareness for care, support, and research.

Volunteers are essential to making this event a success! From setting up and cheering on walkers to helping with logistics and participant support, you’ll play a key role in creating an uplifting, seamless experience for everyone involved.

Volunteer tasks may include:
✔ Event setup and cleanup
✔ Registration and check-in support
✔ Water stations and route guidance
✔ Cheering on walkers and creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere

Where: Bayland Park & Bayland Marina

Impact: This event supports the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Houston chapter, providing local care consultations, support groups, caregiver resources, and a 24/7 helpline—while also fueling national research toward a cure. By volunteering, you’ll help bring hope, connection, and strength to families facing Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The City of Baytown’s EPIC! Spooktacular is back—a fun, non-scary Halloween event for kids with indoor trick-or-treating and games at the Eddie V. Gray Wetlands Center. Volunteers are needed to help clean and set up decorations to transform the space into a festive, family-friendly celebration.

When: Saturday, October 4, 2025
