THE VILLAGE AT NORTHRISE RAISES MORE THAN $18,000 FOR THE ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION WALK TO END ALZHEIMER’S®
[Las
Cruces, NM] – January 25, 2022 - The Village at Northrise, a 16-acre Genesis HealthCare-affiliated Continuing Care Community
located at 2884 N. Roadrunner Parkway in Las Cruces, New Mexico, announced
today that it raised more than $18,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk
to End Alzheimer’s®. Despite
the pandemic, this Center was still able to take time out of their busy
schedules for this noble cause. The
Village at Northrise community provides skilled nursing, senior living, and
independent living services and includes a 24-bed specialized Memory Support
Program.
Over
35 participants from The Village at Northrise joined the Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s® in the fight to end Alzheimer’s disease. For their
achievement, The Village at Northrise will be presented
with a trophy for raising
the most funds of any of the over 250 affiliated Genesis HealthCare centers
nationwide. In 2021, Genesis HealthCare raised approximately $100,000
company-wide and has continued to add to their lifetime achievement of
$1,000,000+ in support of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s.
Bonnie Zeiler from The
Village at Northrise states, “As the
team captain for Genesis Striders from Northrise for the last 11 years, it has
been amazing to expand and increase our fundraising efforts despite being in
the middle of a pandemic. With continued support from current and former family
members and our staff, our team raised over $18,000 this year. We are proud to
be a part of helping to END Alzheimer's!”
More
than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease – a leading cause
of death in the United States. Additionally, more than 11 million family members
and friends provide care to people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. With the
dedication of organizations like The
Village at Northrise and Genesis HealthCare, the Alzheimer’s
Association can continue to move forward with its vision of a world without
Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.
