During the month of September SYNERGY HomeCare will be promoting Senior Selfies to End Alzheimer’s. The goal of our campaign is to raise awareness and money for the Alzheimer’s Association.
There has never been a better reason for you to post a selfie than now! The Senior Selfie to End Alzheimer’s is an excellent way to have some fun and raise money for a great cause. For every senior (citizen) that posts a selfie on our Facebook page, SYNERGY HomeCare will donate $5 to the Alzheimer’s Association. Help us reach our goal of 500 senior selfie’s.
Don’t overthink it, just take a picture of yourself and post it on our national SYNERGY HomeCare Facebook page. Use the hashtag #EndAlz to help us spread the word for this great cause.
While you’re there, please take a second to like our Facebook page. We post lots of helpful information about maintaining a healthy lifestyle, tips for caregivers, and inspirational stories.
