Ground Effects is donating 50,000 to CaregiverRX Matching Gift Campaign.
Ground Effects Ltd. is once again assisting the local Alzheimer Society.
The company will donate $50,000 towards the CaregiverRX Matching Gift Campaign.
It's the third year for the fundraiser, where the community is being asked to donate $50,000, with Ground Effects matching the $50,000 donation.
Owner Jim Scott says the Alzheimer Society is a great organization and he's asking the community to support the cause.
"We're putting up $50,000 this year as we did the last two years and the good news is that both those years we exceeded that $100,000," says Scott. "So we've been talking to our friends and colleagues and suppliers saying hey come on board and help us out."
Scott adds a member of his family has been diagnosed with dementia.
"Just recently my wife's stepfather has really struggled with it and as I said he was at a nursing home last night with us and he thought I had a beautiful home and it wasn't my home at all," says Scott. "We just think that we're all getting older I guess and our families are getting older and it's just a great cause to support."
