Belmont Village Senior Living Encino Raised $1,008 for the Alzheimer’s Association

Fundraising efforts to continue leading up to the Walk Against Alzheimer's November 5 in Los Angeles

Belmont Village Senior Living Encino held 12-hour bike-a-thon called the Bike to End Alzheimer’s Fundraiser using stationary bikes to symbolize the challenging journey those with the disease and their caregivers face every day. Participants rode for 15 minute increments for a minimum donation of $10. The Encino team, including (pictured l-r) Debbie Reilly, Vice President of Sales and Elanit Cohen, Community Relations Associate, raised $1,008 toward the company’s overall donation to the Alzheimer’s Association. The team will continue to raise funds until the November 5 Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Los Angeles.

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®.
