U.P. Home Health & Hospice understands, firsthand, the effects of Alzheimer’s on individuals, their families, friends, and caregivers. The agency formed a team of Angels to help support the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research: The Walk to End Alzheimer’s. We are inspired by all the Alzheimer’s patients and families that we have cared for and will continue to care for until a cure is found. Our walk honors them and their families.
To kick of our Walk to End Alzheimer’s #TeamUPHHHAngels Campaign for 2021, our staff has planned week-long picnic-themed activities leading up to the Longest Day, where thousands of people across the world come together to fight the darkness of Alzheimer’s. From June 14-June 18 our team will participate in agency fundraising activities including:
- Monday: Yes You ‘Can’ Drive: Can Drive- Kick-off a weeklong can drive to support Alzheimer’s
- Tuesday: When Life Gives You Lemons: Berry Lemonade
- Wednesday: Life’s a Picnic-Sandwich Bar
- Thursday: Cupcakes for a Cause
- Friday: Hope Blooms- Purple Flowers
Staff may participate in each event by donation, which will also allow include chances to win one of 5 baskets throughout the week. Each basket will be themed for each picnic day and include a gift certificate to one of Marquette County’s locally owned business. These activities are funded through a Thrivent Action Team so 100 percent of all donations will go directly to #TeamAngels for their Walk to End Alzheimer’s. If members of the community would like to donate to the team, you may go directly to their page http://act.alz.org/goto/UPHHHAngels.
