The Homeplace of Henderson residents and families will participate in the Alzheimer’s Association’s The Longest Day, a fundraising event to shine a light on the disease, said a release from the assisted living facility.
From 4-6 p.m. on June 21, Homeplace will have a lemon shake-up and dessert stand with residents and staff participating, said the release.
Also, a basket full of luxury items will be raffled off to all participants who donate $10 or more.
All funds will be donated to the local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association to further research and resources for Henderson. All donations are appreciated and all participants will receive a commemorative purple flower at Homeplace of Henderson to symbolize our gratitude and awareness for Alzheimer’s disease, said the release.
This fundraiser will give local families and caregivers an opportunity to come to the senior living community to donate and receive educational resources for those who are currently caring for a loved one with dementia.
“Homeplace of Henderson is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to further the research of dementia to help our residents fight this growing disease,” said Grace Glenn, the director of sales and marketing. “We are passionate about the love and care we provide our Memory Care residents, and are proud to support this cause, in hopes for more research and resources in the coming years for not only our residents, but for us too.”
If you are unable to attend the fundraiser event, Homeplace of Henderson will be taking donations all throughout the month of June leading up to The Longest Day. You can donate via any debit or credit card by going here.
