Alzheimer’s Assn Golf Classic May 6 Honors Rothkoff, Vandervelde

Two South Jersey heroes of elder care will be honored during the Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter 2019 Spring Golf Classic, May 6, 2019 at Laurel Creek Country Club in Mount Laurel, N.J.

Jerold Rothkoff, Esq., of Rothkoff Law Group, an eldercare law firm in Cherry Hill, and Murphy Vandervelde, co-owner of The Fountains at Cedar Parke in Atco, N.J., will receive the Kaledioscope Award for Philanthrophic Excellence for their efforts to support the mission of creating a world without Alzheimer’s disease.

“Jerry Rothkoff has been an outspoken advocate for the rights of the elderly and disabled. Murphy Vandervelde has elevated care for seniors including those with Alzheimer’s at his properties in Southern and Northern New Jersey. Along the way, they have both been tireless supporters of the Alzheimer’s Association,” said Mike Russomano, Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter board chairman. “They are both well deserving of this year’s Kaleidoscope Award.”

Rothkoff dedicates his practice to serving clients in the areas of elder law, life care planning, asset protection, estate planning, and long-term care advocacy. He is a staunch supporter of Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter, hosting research programs with members of the community, encouraging his staff to raise funds and participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, and including the Chapter in his seminars, conferences and speaking engagements.

Murphy Vandervelde purchased The Fountains at Cedar Parke, a 372-room continuing care retirement facility, with his sister, Anne-Marie Vandervelde, in 2013. He regularly conducts events on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter, sponsors or hosts other Chapter events and educational programs, and consistently fields one of the top walk teams in the Philadelphia Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The Fountains at Cedar Parke has been honored for its dementia and Alzheimer’s programs.
