Brookdale Lake Shore Drive is a proud local sponsor of the Parkinson’s Foundation. In the past, we have hosted monthly fundraisers in the community to fund for our Moving Day team – last year raising $4,800. Normally, we would be setting up our table at Soldier Field this fall for Moving Day Chicago. As everything is looking a bit different these days, this year the walk will be taking place virtually on Saturday, October 24th. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for further event details! We are continuing to accept donations on behalf of the community. If you would like to make a donation, please follow the link below.
