People were raising money for charity on Sunday with the stroke of a brush.

Pottery 2 Paint in Rapid City held a fundraiser for the Alzheimer's Association in conjunction with the Walk to End Alzheimer's.

Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior.

According to the Alzheimer's Association, this disease is in the top 10 causes of death in America that cannot be prevented or cured.

If customers said they were with the Walk, workers wrote "Alz" on their ticket to indicate part of the sales would go to charity.

Pottery 2 Paint Employee Madisyn Richards says, "They actually came in and contacted us and asked if we'd be willing to do something. We do fundraising like this a lot. This one's actually a pretty big one. We had a lot of people in this morning. It's just kind of nice to have even regular customers who come in, if they know about it, they'll just tell us and we write it down. it gives kind of everyone a chance to just contribute without having to do a lot."

Richards says if they raise less than $500, 25 percent of the sales will go to the Alzheimer's Association.

If they collect more than $500, they'll donate half of the money.
