SPONSOR OF THE MONTH: The Alzheimer’s Association of Western and Central Washington State is pleased to announce our Corporate Sponsor of the Month program. Each month, we’ll recognize one or two outstanding partners on our Web site, showcasing their philanthropy and Association giving history. Thanks to sponsors, we’re able to fund important Alzheimer’s research, continue our outreach, programs and support services, and connect Washington state residents to our cause through exceptional fundraising events. 

Thank you and congratulations to Sunrise Senior Living, our Sponsor of the Month!
 

Sunrise Senior Living

Sunrise Senior Living has a mission to champion quality of life for all seniors. Sunrise has over 420 senior living communities across the United States. In Washington, Sunrise has seven communities, six of which offer Alzheimer’s care.  Sunrise’s core values are passion, joy in service, stewardship, respect and trust. These values show through in Sunrise Senior Living’s relationship with the Western and Central Washington Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association.

Kristin M. Downing, Director of Community Relations at Brighton Gardens of Bellevue says, “Partnering with the Alzheimer’s Association has been an enlightening experience. Within the Sunrise Senior Living Community that I work in, many of my team members work hard all year to raise funds for the organization through Tasteful Evening and the Memory Walk.  My colleague Mary Watkins and I have both been personally touched by this incurable disease.  Working in the Senior Assisted Living Industry and with the Alzheimer’s Association has been very therapeutic in our personal journeys.  Volunteering as a committee member has allowed Mary and I to give back a little to our local community.  We both treasure our experiences with the members of the organization that we have worked with and look forward to supporting the Alzheimer’s Association for many more years to come.”

Over the last several years, Sunrise has been a top sponsor of our local Memory Walks and Tasteful Evening.  Countless volunteer hours and generous financial support have provided invaluable resources for our local chapter. Each Sunrise community in Washington is dedicated to supporting and enhancing the work of the Alzheimer’s Association. Sunrise staff members are always more than willing to join an event planning committee, help out at Memory Walk, or support Chapter fundraising efforts in any way they can. We are fortunate to call Sunrise one of our strongest partners, and are indebted to them for their excellence in supporting us year after year.
