The Alzheimer’s Association received some big love from The Timbers of Shorewood on Friday - $1,600 worth.
And the residents at the Timbers of Shorewood received a special Valentine’s Day surprise.
Here’s what happened.
The Timbers reached out to residents’ families to see if they’d like to buy a Valentine’s Day package. The package started at $8 and included a chocolate rose, a heart-shaped balloon and a personalized card.
Families were so enthusiastic about the program, the Timbers opened it up to the community. Other people and the community began donating, too.
The result was $1,600 to the Alzheimer’s Association and a special Valentine surprise to for every resident at The Timbers.
In a news release from The Timbers, marketing director Sheila Reyes said the result was “startling.”
“All our residents were shown some real love by families, businesses and Shorewood neighbors,” Reyes said in the release. “And that’s what Valentine’s Day is all about.”
