White Horse Village raises $17,000 for Alzheimer’s
White Horse Village, a nonprofit senior living community in Edgmont Township, Delaware County, held its first Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Nov. 14, raising $17,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association.
There was a week of events for residents and team members, including a yard and window decorating contest, costume contest, water walking, gift baskets and multiple walking courses of varying difficulty. COVID-19 safety protocols were enforced at all walk activities.
Guest judges participated virtually to select the decorating contest winners and support the community’s walk with personal video messages.
The judges were Kristen Hagopian, WCHE radio host; Dr. Laura Sicola, national speaker; Jenna Meisner, morning news anchor for PHL17; Tracy Price, director of PR/marketing for the Delaware County Bar Association; and Bruce Sham, senior vice president at Mass Mutual.
“It is impressive to see a nonprofit organization wholeheartedly fund raise for another nonprofit,” said Susan Abtouche, vice president of mission enhancement and sales. “There was tremendous energy on campus during walk week. Many of our residents and team members have been personally touched by Alzheimer’s disease.”
