On Friday night, November 16, RiverCourt Residences was proud to be the corporate sponsor of the 10th Annual Liberty Alzheimer’s Partnership Gala, “The Color of the Night is Purple”, held at the Museum of Our National Heritage in Lexington.
The night began with a wine bar, appetizer, dessert reception, followed by a concert performed by Dr. Elliot Steger and his Jazz Trio. Hundreds attended the event, which raised $21,000 to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association of Massachusetts’ Care and Consultation Program. The program provides personalized service, in-person or over the phone, for individuals and families who are facing many decisions and challenges associated with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders.
