PARK RIDGE—At the Park Ridge Rotary Club fellowship luncheon meeting on May 5, members gathered with the club’s partners at Family of Caring at Park Ridge’s The Residence assisted living.
The partnership brings the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and dementia within our community, aiming, the club tells Pascack Press, “to find a cure for one of the most debilitating diseases we have seen in our lifetime.”
Park Ridge Rotary says “Alzheimer’s/dementia is in the top five of most fatal diseases- with no cure. Family of Caring at Park Ridge knows all too well the impact to residents in their assisted living and memory care facilities. The Alzheimer’s Association is one of top three global contributors to research and long-term care infrastructure on a 24/7 basis.”
The club says, “Park Ridge Rotary Club is a sponsor of the New Jersey chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association’s annual Bergen–Passaic Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Our Rotary Club pledged to Family of Caring at Park Ridge a donation in their behalf to charity of their choice — NJ Chapter Alzheimer’s Association — in exchange for their generosity in catering our luncheons at the Dean Mansion at no cost to us.”
The club says, “In total for 2023, the NJ chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association has received over $1,500 of additional support from Rotary on behalf of Family of Caring at Park Ridge’s The Residence. Both Park Ridge Rotary and Alzheimer’s Association send a big thank you to Family of Caring for their support.”
