Goose Creek Elks Lodge Champions Community Care with Generous Donation to Race for the ARK

The Goose Creek Elks Lodge #2719 has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to community welfare, recently presenting a generous check for $2,500 to Race for the ARK. This significant contribution is poised to provide vital support to The ARK (Alzheimer's Family Support Services), an organization dedicated to assisting Lowcountry families grappling with the profound challenges of Alzheimer's and related dementias.

The Elks Lodge, renowned for its philanthropic endeavors and community engagement, recognized the critical need to bolster The ARK's mission.

Their donation is a testament to their deep understanding of the emotional, physical, and financial toll that dementia can take on caregivers and families. This contribution will directly fund The ARK's comprehensive programs, which include respite care, support groups, educational workshops, and resource navigation, all designed to offer a lifeline to those in need.

The Race for the ARK is a flagship fundraising event for The ARK, drawing participants and supporters from across the region united by a common goal: to stand with families affected by Alzheimer's.

The Elks Lodge's $2,500 gift will significantly amplify the race's impact, helping The ARK to expand its reach and ensure that more families receive the compassionate care and essential services they deserve.

Kathleen Betz, Executive Director of The ARK, expressed profound gratitude for the Elks Lodge's generosity.

"Partners like the Goose Creek Elks Lodge are absolutely essential to our ability to serve the community," Betz stated. "Their thoughtful donation ensures that we can continue to offer our crucial programs at little to no cost, providing comfort and assistance to families navigating the complexities of dementia.

This support truly makes a difference in people's lives."

The Elks Lodge has a long-standing tradition of giving back, with a particular focus on supporting initiatives that strengthen the fabric of their local community. Their partnership with The ARK highlights their dedication to addressing pressing social needs and improving the quality of life for vulnerable populations.

This donation not only provides financial aid but also raises awareness about the pervasive impact of Alzheimer's and the importance of community-based support systems.

As the Race for the ARK approaches, this contribution from the Goose Creek Elks Lodge serves as an inspiring example of local solidarity.

It encourages others to join the cause, whether through participation in the race, volunteering, or making their own donations, all contributing to a collective effort to support those living with Alzheimer's and their tireless caregivers.
