Thank you to everyone who walked, donated, and raised funds.
We had an awesome year. Together we raised more than $60,000 to help fight this horrible disease. We truly could not do this without all of you.
Sincerely, your co-captains –
Lisa Lemieux and Peggy Johnson
On September 28, Southview Senior Living and the Southview Senior Communities team will be joining the Alzheimer’s Association Minnesota-North Dakota for the 2019 Walk to End Alzheimer’s at Target Field. There are 5.8 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s today, and that number is projected to rise to nearly 14 million by 2050. We’d love your help as we work to raise awareness, reduce risk, and eliminate Alzheimer’s through research and care. Learn more about donating and/or registering to walk. Together, we can fight to end Alzheimer’s!
Here are some photos from last year’s walk.
We held our 2019 Alzheimer’s Association BBQ Fundraiser on August 21, and it was a HUGE success! We want to give a big thank you to all the volunteers, donors, and attendees who made it such an amazing time. And, of course, a special thanks goes to our residents who volunteered to help shuck the corn for the event! ??
Everyone had a wonderful time at our friend Cathy’s house! We spent the afternoon enjoying her beautiful garden and eating ice cream sundaes and snickerdoodle cookies.
We are proud to announce that Southview Senior Living and ten other Southview Senior Communities raised over $23,000, more than doubling our goal! The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is a nationwide fundraiser event for the Alzheimer’s Association in an effort to support lives affected by Alzheimer’s and advance research to treat and prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
On September 15, we join the Walk to End Alzheimer’s at Target Field in Minneapolis. Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, killing more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. One in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or some form of dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association and Walk to End Alzheimer’s mission is to bring awareness, reduce the risk, and eliminate Alzheimer’s through research and care. You can help us by donating: http://bit.ly/2Bl2y7U or participating in the walk. Details here: http://bit.ly/2vOJVEg
Our residents enjoyed the BBQ fundraiser for Alzheimer’s! We had hot dogs, brats, and hamburgers with all the fixings. We had a raffle, and there was a lot of excitement while drawing the winners. What a beautiful night. We raised a grand total of $7,015 dollars! Thanks to everyone for their generosity and support.
Worldwide, more than 50 million people are living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. During Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness month in June, the Alzheimer’s Association encourages people around the world to learn about and spread awareness. This month, go purple and inspire action.
Alzheimer’s is a disease that attacks the brain. The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of the aging process. The disease affects memory, thought process, and behavior, and is serious enough to interfere with daily life, progressively worsening over time. The sixth leading cause of death in the United States, Alzheimer’s has no cure.
