Greenridge Place resident Sarah Christensen and her friends helped raise over $800 for the Alzheimer’s Association.

Residents at Greenridge Place, an Anthem Memory Care community in Westminster, hosted a lemonade stand and raised over $800 for the Alzheimer’s Association Colorado Chapter. The residents helped make the lemonade and sold the cups of the sweet drink at the community located at 7700 W. 101^st Avenue, Westminster.

“Many of the residents are lifelong volunteers and it brings them joy to continue their commitment to community service,” said Brooke Kelly, life engagement director for Greenridge Place. “They jumped at the chance to feel productive and help others.”

The number of Coloradans with Alzheimer’s is expected to reach 92,000 by 2025 – a 21.1% increase – according to the Alzheimer’s Association.
