VERO BEACH — Watercrest Senior Living Group led the march against Alzheimer’s disease this past weekend as the top fundraising team and Gold Level sponsor at the Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s at Humiston Park.
The owners of Watercrest Senior Living Group, Marc Vorkapich, CEO, and Joan Williams, CFO, learned of the Alzheimer’s Walk just six weeks ago and were immediately compelled to make an impact in the fight to eliminate this devastating disease.
The Watercrest executives, associates, and their families banded together earning the proud status of top fundraising team in Vero Beach and garnering three Champions Club awards.
