White Horse Village, a nonprofit senior living community in Edgmont Township, Delaware County, held its second annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Sept. 10, featuring a weeklong schedule of activities.

Both residents and team members embraced the event, raising over $27,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association, exceeding the fundraising goal of $20,000 and increasing total funds by over 35% from last year.
