Hillside Terrace Hosts Solstice Soiree!

The Alzheimer’s Association of Michigan had a Mix, Mingle & be Merry Solstice Soiree on Thursday, December 21, 2017. This special event was by invitation only. However, this year was even more special because Hillside Terrace Senior Living in Ann Arbor hosted the event!

This gathering gave donors an opportunity to join the Alzheimer’s Association efforts to help make a change. Guests learned about the vital work of the Alzheimer’s Association, including the care and support they provide to families and the latest advances in research. There was no charge to attend; however, guests were asked to address the growing needs of our community by making a contribution. 

“We’re so happy to be hosting this year’s Solstice Soiree!” says Trey Litz, Director of Community Relations at Hillside Terrace Senior Living in Ann Arbor. “Donors are incredibly important in order to find a cure to help end Alzheimer’s Disease.”

Do you or a loved one suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease? Then you know how hard it is and how important donations are to the Alzheimer’s Association of Michigan.

What is "The Longest Day”?

The Longest Day on Wednesday, June 21, 2017, is all about bringing people together to support a common goal: the fight against Alzheimer’s. It’s the celebration of the year!

We help raise funds and awareness for research while doing activities you can enjoy. You can honor a caregiver, someone living with Alzheimer's, or someone you’ve lost by selecting his or her favorite hobby and doing it from sunrise to sunset.

Do you know someone fighting the disease?

Are you at risk?

Are you noticing symptoms?

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, “The Longest Day is all about love. Love for all those affected by Alzheimer's disease. On the summer solstice, team up with the Alzheimer’s Association and select any activity you love — or an activity loved by those affected — to help end Alzheimer’s. Together, we will raise funds and awareness for care and support while advancing research toward the first survivor of Alzheimer’s.”

Thousands contribute to The Longest Day activities on the longest night December 21, and the longest day, June 21. Last year, over 10,000 people from nine countries participated in 3,200 Longest Day tributes and $3.8 million was raised for the Alzheimer’s Association. That’s incredible!

“What motivates us year to year is the fact that the Alzheimer's disease is now more than ever not just an "Old Person" disease. People of all ages are being affected by Alzheimer's. There is still no prevention, no cure, and not enough funds and research to provide us with a possible cure. We live and breathe this disease everyday here at Hillside Terrace. Our mission this year is to raise as much awareness as possible at our "Longest Day" to the youth and to the community,” says Trey Litz, Director of Community Relations.

This year we’re partnering with Bumpin' Bubbles and giving people and businesses in the area a chance to sponsor an hour of team building skills while playing Bubble Soccer. The orchard will be set up like a real soccer field with bleachers for fans, food & drinks, silent auctions, live DJ, Cardio Drumming, NuStepping, Zumba, Yoga, and even Jon Falk from the UM Athletic Department will be there handing out and signing his books!

All donations help provide care and support to all those facing Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Association also helps drive new research studies toward new treatment, prevention and ultimately, a cure. Donate today!
