The Long Island Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association is pleased to announce a $5,000 donation from the private non-profit organization, Burlington Stores Foundation, made possible by Burlington stores, the national off-price retailer.
The Foundation focuses on providing funds to qualifying non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations that are solely nominated by Burlington employees nationwide.
“We are incredibly thankful to the Burlington Stores Foundation for this donation,” said Douglas Davidson, executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association Long Island Chapter. “As more people are affected by this disease, our chapter will be able to respond to the increasing needs of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia and their family members. All of our programs and services are free to the community, and we can do that thanks to generous supporters.”
Based in Melville, the Alzheimer’s Association Long Island Chapter serves Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The chapter helps all those facing Alzheimer’s and other dementias by providing support groups and educational resources while advancing crucial research and public policy initiatives. There are currently 410,000 New Yorkers living with Alzheimer’s and even more people caring for them.
