Belmont Village Senior Living Cardiff raises funds for the Alzheimer’s Association

Fundraising Efforts to Continue until Sep 9

Belmont Village Senior Living Cardiff held a 12-hour bike-a-thon called the Bike to End Alzheimer’s Fundraiser using stationary bikes to symbolize the challenging journey that those with the disease and their caregivers face every day. Participants rode for 15 minute increments for a minimum donation of $10. The Cardiff team, which included resident Donald Solomon raised $400 toward the company’s overall donation to the Alzheimer’s Association which is the beginning of their overall goal to raise funds until the Walk to End Alzheimer’s event takes place on September 9.

All 24 Belmont Village communities in the U.S. took part in the fundraiser with a company-wide total of $18K raised. 100% proceeds benefit the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®.
