Forge Gives Back · 2026

This year we walk together

One club, one cause. Every Forge family, coach and player is walking for the Alzheimer's Association — and we're canceling games and practices so nothing gets in the way. Treat it like a game day: show up, wear Forge, walk together.

For every Forge family

Register. Donate. Show up.

That's the whole ask. Registering costs nothing and takes about five minutes, and every walker who raises $100 earns an official Walk t-shirt.

Step one

Register

Every walker signs up individually on the Forge team page — the Association needs each person to accept their own waiver, so we can't do it for you.

Step two

Donate

Once you're registered you get your own fundraising page to share with family and friends. We strongly ask that each athlete raises $100 — which is also the t-shirt threshold for each walker.

Give to Forge Forward →

Step three

Show up

Wear your Forge kit and walk with your team. No games, no practices — the whole club is there.

Get involved

More than walking

The Association has asked Forge to take on real jobs on walk day. These are the ones they think we're built for — coaches, older players and parents all welcome.

Lead the warm-up

A few coaches or older players take the whole field through five minutes of gentle stretching at 9:25 AM, right before the opening ceremony.

Run the Fun Zone

Bring cones and put on simple soccer drills for the kids alongside the face painting, coloring and yard games.

Cheer brigade

Stand at the start/finish arch and send the walkers off — then be there to celebrate them coming back in.

Route guides

Spread out along the course in a safety vest, point the way and cheer. The Association provides the map and the vests.

Set-up & clean-up

Tents, tables and signage — 6:00–8:00 AM to build it, 11:30 AM–12:00 PM to strike it. Expect to lift up to 25 lbs.

Put your name down

Volunteers gather from 8:30 AM. Tell what you'd like to do and she'll sort the rest.

The Promise Garden

Carry a flower

Every walker picks a flower before the walk and carries it. The color says why you're there — and once you're on the route, you can read the whole crowd at a glance. Take more than one if more than one is true.

Blue

I am living with Alzheimer's or another dementia.

Yellow

I support or care for someone living with Alzheimer's or another dementia.

Purple

I have lost someone to Alzheimer's or another dementia.

Orange

I support the cause and the Association's vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.

Walk day

Where and when

The walk

Forge has its own space in the pavilion — check in and gather with the club there before the walk.

Earn your shirt

Raise $100 and the Alzheimer's Association sends you an official Walk t-shirt.

To be guaranteed one before walk day, hit $100 by .

What your team can win

Every team where each athlete raises $100 gets a pizza party.

The top boys' and top girls' fundraising teams each earn special-edition Forge gear for the whole squad.

Why we're doing this

Forge Gives Back is our annual commitment to put the reach of this club behind something bigger than soccer.

We want our players to see their coaches, teammates and families give something back — and learn by example what it means to belong to a community.
