The Longest Day Lemonade Stand Posted on June 9, 2022June 9, 2022 According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms eventually grow severe enough to interfere with daily tasks and Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia. Each year, Alzheimer’s disease affects the lives of 6 million Americans. Throughout Lutheran SeniorLife, there are many programs designed to care for residents, participants and patients with Alzheimer’s disease in various stages of their illness. In addition to caring for these individuals, often times the staff do their part to help combat this disease, by getting involved with the Alzheimer’s Association. Please join us for The Longest Day Lemonade fundraising event, 11:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., June 21, in the lobby of the Abundant Life Center, Passavant Community. The Longest Day is the day with the most light — the summer solstice. It’s this day the Alzheimer’s Association calls on everyone to fight Alzheimer’s disease by raising funds and awareness for care, support and research, while enjoying a refreshing glass of lemonade. “I have been involved with fundraising for the Alzheimer’s Association for a number of years and caring for those affected by this disease is something I am very passionate about,” stated Megan Migyanko, social worker at Passavant. “Our goal is to get others involved and excited also.” Donations are greatly appreciated, but are not necessary to participate. All money raised will go to the Alzheimer’s Association. Visit our page to get more info and donate
