Brightview May’s Chapel Ridge Friends and Families;
We are proud to announce that Brightview Mays Chapel Ridge, will be participating in the 2020 Walk to End Alzheimer’s on October 19th!
This will be a community event, and all are welcome to join your resident for the walk.
The day will start with a 10:30am warm -up given by one of our enthusiastic associates. Our community walk will start immediately following the warm-up, at 11:00. All festivities as well as our start and finish line will be in the front parking lot. This year’s course will consist of two distance options, or by supporting our walkers by cheering them on as they walk through the surrounding neighborhood.
Be sure to stay around as we will have music; a bake sale and fun raffles for all. Proceeds will go to the Alzheimer’s Association. We are looking forward to this event and hope all of you can support our efforts or join us for this day’s fun festivities.
