Freedom Village Alzheimer's Awareness Car Wash

About this car wash

Staff members from Freedom Village at Brandywine volunteered to wash vehicles on their campus in support of the Alzheimer's Association. Drivers were invited to make a donation of any amount, with all proceeds benefiting those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

The second annual Alzheimer’s Awareness Car Wash June 29 brought Freedom Village at Brandywine staff members together for an afternoon of service, raising $1,223 in support of a cause that affects families across the country.

For two hours, Freedom Village employees volunteered to wash vehicles on the community’s campus in West Brandywine.

Rather than charging a set price, the team invited drivers to make a donation of any amount, with every dollar collected benefiting the Alzheimer’s Association.

Raising Awareness
“Alzheimer’s touches so many individuals, caregivers and families, including people within our own community,” said Danielle Geyer, executive director of Freedom Village at Brandywine.

“This car wash gave our team a hands-on way to raise awareness, show support, and contribute to an organization working on behalf of those affected by the disease.”

The event built on the success of Freedom Village’s first Alzheimer’s Awareness Car Wash and turned an everyday service into an opportunity for giving.

A Show of Support
Staff members handled every part of the car wash, creating a visible show of support while encouraging conversations about the importance of Alzheimer’s awareness.

“Our employees brought tremendous energy and heart to this year’s event, and the generosity of everyone who donated helped us surpass $1,200,” Geyer said. “We are proud to continue this tradition and grateful to everyone who helped make the day meaningful and successful.”

Freedom Village at Brandywine regularly brings residents and employees together around charitable and community-focused initiatives.
