MorningStar Actively Participates in the Fight to End Alzheimer’s

At MorningStar Memory Care at Bear Creek, we proudly participate in a range of activities and events throughout the year to help raise funds and awareness to end Alzheimer’s disease. Along with other MorningStar communities across the U.S., our residents, staff, families and friends join together in honoring the memory-impaired and supporting efforts to eradicate this devastating disease.    

In fact, last fall MorningStar teams participated in the “Walk to End Alzheimer’s” that took place August through November across the cities in which we have communities.  The 5K Walk is the world’s largest event that raises awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. And staff, residents, and family members were enthusiastically there—as walkers, runners, exhibitors and sponsors. Moreover, our efforts have paid off as in 2019; our collective MorningStar communities gave $73,600 to the Alzheimer’s Association—in search for a cure.

We also celebrated “The Longest Day” on summer solstice this past June with a variety of fundraisers and activities in honor of our memory care residents.  Our “Up and Under a Lavender Sky,” event was a success and carried the heartfelt message of: Up with Awareness; Up with Compassion; and Up with Hope.
