Arizona Gives Day Is Almost Here!

March 14, 2022

During Arizona Gives Day on April 5-6, make a difference in the lives of seniors with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other age-related challenges by supporting Oakwood Creative Care! Arizona Gives Day is an annual online giving movement celebrating nonprofits like us and the critical role we play in the lives of our members and our communities. We invite you to take advantage of this opportunity to spark moments of joy and bridge the gaps in care for loved ones living with cognitive and physical impairments, as well as their families and caregivers. This Arizona Gives Day, help us reach our fundraising goal of $2,500 towards bringing light, hope, and dignity beyond a diagnosis.

Why Arizona Gives Day Is Important To Oakwood:

Arizona Gives Day for Oakwood Creative Care Seniors with Dementia and Alzheimers

Now more than ever, your support means the world to Oakwood Creative Care because by investing in us, we can continue to invest in our community’s seniors and caregivers in need. Alzheimer’s is the costliest of all diseases and sees a new diagnosis rapidly occur every 67 seconds. Arizona alone is poised to have the fastest-growing rate of Alzheimer’s and related dementias in the country by 2025.

Yet, unfortunately, only 2% of American philanthropic dollars are directed to elderly care, and there is a significant deficit in private, state, government, and insurance funding. The low reimbursement rates from these funders leave a substantial gap in coverage of care to be filled by donations for Oakwood Creative Care to continue providing meaningful care and hope beyond a diagnosis. You can help us better serve families impacted by the lack of senior financial support with your Arizona Gives Day donation, wherein every dollar raised will go directly towards:

2,700 hours of member scholarships
24 support group sessions for families
1,584 one-on-one counseling, support, & education with our dementia experts
12 community training & education workshops

Early giving has officially opened, and Arizona Gives Day donations can continue to be made through April 6th. Join Oakwood Creative Care in making a monumental impact by bridging the gaps for seniors living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other age-related challenges.
