Memories Matter Walk-A-Thon
University of La Verne Students raising awareness of Dementia and Alzheimer's by hosting a Walk-A-Ton at Hillcrest Retirement Community
La Verne Califonia-Help Hillcrest Retirement Community residents coping with dementia and Alzheimer’s by donating your old iPods and by participating in an awareness-raising walk on Mary 7th at Hillcrest Homes. Enjoy a morning of good music, good food, and good company for a great cause.
The Music & Memory Program is an important, unfamiliar program put on by our local assisted living home, Hillcest. The point of this program is to use music as a memory-assistance. Residents living with these diseases listen to music on donated iPods, and the reactions are heart-warming.
Myranda Garcia and Caitlin Pallotta, along with the help of Ryan Harrison and Loida Arriaga, will be hosting the Memories Matter Walk-A-Thon. We created this event because Hillcrest holds a very special place in our hearts and what better way to raise awareness than to host an event for this community for our senior project. There will be live entertainment, food, and prizes!
