An all-you-can-eat great barbecue on Labor Day this Monday, Sept. 3, in Alpine will raise money for Alzheimer’s Disease research!
The Alpine View Lodge at 973 Arnold Way is holding its annual event from noon to 1:30 p.m. to support its Quest for the Cure Team. A $10 donation is requested. A raffle and ice cold margaritas are part of the fun.
The local team is already well ahead of the pack in fundraising for the huge 2018 Walk4Alz benefit walk on Saturday, Oct. 20, in San Diego’s Balboa Park.
“We’ve got over $57,000 that we’ve raised so far,” said Linda Cioffi, director of the family-owned home for Alzheimer’s and dementia care. “We’re $24,000 ahead of where we were last year. Once again, we’re whuppin’ ‘em all!”
The team’s donations are ahead of schedule in spite of taking a month off from fund raising to help present the major West Fire Benefit & Auction for Alpine’s fire survivors.
All money collected is used in San Diego County. Checks must be made out to Alzheimer’s San Diego.
Tax deductible donations for the lodge’s team may be dropped off at the Alpine View Lodge, mailed to 973 Arnold Way, Alpine, CA 91901, or paid online at https://alzsd.akaraisin.com/walk4alz2018/questforthecure.
