Toms River, NJ (September 28, 2018) An event to benefit Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey and their “Connection Thru Music” program was a huge success thanks to Imperial Healthcare and The Gardens at Monroe. Held at The House of Independents in Asbury Park the evening was full of excitement as five bands played to the delight of over 300 people who rocked the house!
“Connection Thru Music” matches youth with seniors living at home with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, creating connections through the power of music memory that build a bridge to memories and sense of self otherwise lost to the disease. A gift auction with an array of fabulous gifts and a 50/50 raffle raised awareness and funds for this Ocean and Monmouth County nonprofit agency.
Sponsors for the event included: Brandywine Living, Garland Law Offices, P.A., Grace Healthcare Services, and Right at Home Homecare. Mondays at Six, Caitlyn Campbell, Satellite Six, Sheli Monacchio and Mike Askin, and Kings Highway, all donated their time and talent, and entertained throughout the evening.
