UMEC Adding Life to Years Gala 2018

United Methodist Elder Care (UMEC), a nonprofit provider of long-term care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, assisted living and independent living services for seniors with locations throughout Rhode Island, is holding its annual ‘Adding Life to Years’ fundraising gala on Saturday, June 2, 2018 at 5:30 p.m.

The event will be held at the Omni Providence Hotel (1 West Exchange Street in Providence) to celebrate the UMEC mission of caring for their population’s healthcare and living needs.

The festivities include a cocktail reception, live and silent auctions, dinner, mission-driven program and live entertainment. Rich Gingras, founder of The Parkinson’s Place in Pawtucket, is the 2018 UMEC honoree.
“Rich is a retired professional boxer with an entrepreneurial and charitable spirit focused on helping people with Parkinson’s,” states Richard Gamache, MS, FACHCA, chief executive officer of United Methodist Elder Care. “Through his Rock Steady gym, he empowers patients to fight back through special workouts designed to increase their balance and strength. His amazing work is an important part of our rehab for our patients and residents and we are pleased to honor him.”

Funds raised from the United Methodist Elder Care Gala will be used to support customized care, specialized medical and activity programs, and operational capital needed to serve the patient and resident population from independent living to long-term skilled nursing care.

Exciting new initiatives will be unveiled during the evening’s programming and the Board of Trustees will make a much-anticipated special announcement. To purchase tickets, please visit www.umeldercareri.org/adding-life-to-years before May 18th.
