VERO BEACH — HarborChase of Vero Beach recently announced that it will host the HarborChase Hole-in-One Golf Tournament on Saturday, August 18, at The Club at Pointe West.
Proceeds from the tournament will support the Alzheimer & Parkinson Association of Indian River County, which is celebrating its 30th year of serving community residents with disorders affecting memory and movement by promoting quality of life and choice through advocacy, support, empowerment, education, and research connections.
Spearheading the planning committee are HarborChase staff Led by Tom Rockwood, Director of Maintenance, and committee members including Kara Anderson, Executive Director, Sheree Gough, Director of Sales, Trish Kelly, Director of Memory Care and Life Enrichment, and Liz Barr, Director of Resident Care.
“As a community focused on assisted living and memory care, we are very impressed with the impact of the services that the Alzheimer & Parkinson Association provides for HarborChase residents and for other residents of Indian River County affected by memory and movement disorders,” explained Anderson.
“As an autonomous and self-supporting organization that provides essential services to our local community, we’re counting on the community to help us raise our fundraising goal, so they can continue to provide unique services for those in need,” Anderson added.
In addition to the golf tournament, the HarborChase staff held a “Dining to Make a Difference” event in April, which raised over $3,000 for the nonprofit organization.
Additionally, HarborChase supports the Alzheimer & Parkinson Association of Indian River County as event sponsors for the annual “Walk to Remember,” which is scheduled for November 10, and plans to participate as a team and include family and friends.
HarborChase, with 16 locations, provides the highest standard of living in its senior care communities offering assisted living, skilled nursing, and its highly acclaimed Memory Care program.
Staff celebrates each individual resident with the dignity they have earned and a warm appreciation of the chapters in their life that are yet to unfold.
