Chestnut Knoll’s 5th Annual “Making Memories to Save Memories” Beef and Beer Fundraiser
Chestnut Knoll Personal Care and Memory Care recently held their Annual “Making Memories to Save Memories” Beef and Beer fundraiser, and the community was able to raise over $7,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association. Over the past 13 years, Chestnut Knoll has donated approximately $130,000 to the Alzheimer’s Association.
“I am so proud of our accomplishments in raising money for a great cause,” said Shawn Barndt, executive director. “Our team goal for 2014 is to raise $17,000 and we started off great with the Beef and Beer, and I’m sure we can make it happen with the help of the community and a variety of other fundraisers this year, including a BBQ Chicken sale (held in September), a hoagie sale, and the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.”
The Beef and Beer event was held Saturday, April 12 at the Keystone Fire Company and many residents, family members, friends and members of the Boyertown and surrounding communities came out to support a good cause. A special thank you also goes out to all the local businesses and partners in caring that donated items to the silent auction and raffle.
