Cherry Village Benevolence in Great Bend was recognized recently for two major accomplishments on behalf of the recent Walk to End Alzheimer’s.
The long-term-care facility’s 27-member team raised $2,143, which is more than any other team. In addition, Jamie Hatfield, Cherry Village certified nurse’s aide, was a top money raiser; she collected $352.
Cherry Village personnel sold candles, Yoder meat sticks and t-shirts as part of their fundraising efforts.
All proceeds from the Alzheimer’s Walk in Great Bend are earmarked for the Central and Western Kansas Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, said Denise Vann, outreach coordinator.
Local Walk teams raised a total of $14,456, with 21 teams and 194 walkers. Donations on behalf of the Walk are being accepted until Dec. 31.
For more information or to donate to Alzheimer’s education and research, contact Vann by calling 316-267-7333.
Congratulations to the entire team at Cherry Village!
