PHOTO CONTRIBUTED to Glenwood Places 4th Annual Charity Cruise held Thursday for $ 2,323.

Glenwood Places 4th Annual Charity Cruise was a huge success! The main goal in hosting such an event is to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Association. Glenwood Place is a senior citizen community primarily focused on assisted living and memory maintenance. “We see the effects of this disease firsthand every day”says Brooke Davis, community relations coordinator. The Alzheimer’s Association states that 5.6 million Americans are living with the disease and that number is projected to rise to 14 million by 2050. “We raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Association year-round, but our Cruise for a Cause event is our biggest fundraiser of the year. The Glenwood Place team also participates in the Ames Walk to End Alzheimer’s disease every October, the final event of our fundraising year. The Cruise for a Cause event on June 17 raised $ 2,323. Our events and fundraisers would not be possible without the generous hearts of our family, friends and community members. “says Davis.
