Brookdale is a Gold National Memory Walk Team in 2010
Brookdale is proud to once again participate as a Gold team member of the 2010 Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk National Team Program. In 2009, Brookdale not only met its fundraising goal of $400,000, but exceeded it. In these tough economic times, it is even more important to support this important organization.
