VERO BEACH, Fla., Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Good times were rolling at Watercrest Spanish Springs Assisted Living and Memory Care as nearly 100 guests celebrated a Mardi-Gras themed pep rally for the upcoming Alzheimer's Association's Walk to End Alzheimer's event.
As the 2024 host of this highly anticipated kick-off party, Watercrest Spanish Springs associates gathered in full force to create a unique event attracting donors and attendees to participate in this worthy cause. Residents and guests donned their most festive Mardi-Gras themed apparel of purple, yellow and green hues, complete with bejeweled masks and shiny beaded necklaces.
The live jazz music of Paul De Ritter Band played New Orleans tunes as guests danced throughout the evening, smiling for festive photos at the Enchanted Mirror photo booth, and applauding the presentations honoring multiple walk sponsors, and pep rally sponsors: Watercrest, Vitas and Enhabit.
The aromas of New Orleans cuisine filled the air as party-goers dined on shrimp and sausage jambalaya, fried-green-tomato crab cakes, honey-glazed wings, Boudin sausage balls with alligator meat, spoon-drop beignets and Mardi Gras cupcakes.
"We are honored to host this event at Watercrest Spanish Springs and unite all of our local community members for a cause that is near and dear to our hearts," says Kayla Ramos, Resident Lifestyle Director, Watercrest Spanish Springs. "In supporting the Alzheimer's Association's work, we are aligned in our efforts to honor seniors and improve the lives of those individuals living with Alzheimer's and dementia-related illnesses."
