Brookdale is a Platinum National Memory Walk Team in 2009
Brookdale is proud to once again participate as a Platinum team member of the 2009 Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk National Team Program. In 2008, Brookdale was awarded the Alzheimer’s Association 2008 Memory Walk STAR Award in recognition of our outstanding first year achievement as a Platinum National Team. Not only did we meet our fundraising goal of $400,000, but we exceeded it. In these tough economic times, it is even more important to support this important organization.
• As many as 5.3 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s disease.
• 54% of Americans are touched in some way by this disease.
• Alzheimer’s is the seventh-leading cause of death.
• Someone in America develops Alzheimer’s disease every 70 seconds.
• Alzheimer’s is the second most feared disease in America following cancer.
These are sobering statistics. As the premiere provider of senior living in the United States, we see the impact of this disease on our residents, associates and their families every day. The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk is the nation's largest event to raise funds for Alzheimer's research, care and support.
