CARINGKIND, THE HEART OF ALZHEIMER'S CAREGIVING - NY CITY
2024 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon, March 17!
At Future Smiles Senior Living, we understand the need to give back and support our communities, particularly those who stand closer to our hearts. Michelle has lost a loved one to Alzheimer's Disease and cares for many residents with the same disease in her facilities. This year, she was determined to fundraise $1,500.00 and run one of the largest half-marathons in the country. All this was possible with the help and support of many professionals who care for our residents daily and countless family and friends! A special "thank you" to everyone who made it possible for her and CaringKind, which raised over $100,000.00 for the first time!!
