The Barrington of Carmel, an SQLC retirement community, recently presented a check to three wonderful organizations.
The community held two fundraisers and raised $7,500 to be evenly distributed between the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and the Alzheimer’s Association. The fundraisers included a 24-hour memorial walk where residents and associates signed up to walk for as many 15-minute intervals as they wanted during the 24-hour period. This is the third year the community has hosted the event.
The second fundraiser was “Casual for a Cause.” Residents and employees paid $20 for a button that allows them to wear casual clothes on the last Friday of the month for a year.
Representatives from each organization attended to accept a check for $2,500. These events were held to promote senior health and are examples of the community’s Masterpiece Living philosophy, which focuses on the importance of living an active lifestyle and maintaining good health.
