Jennifer Kryshka Highlights the Importance of Philanthropy in Alzheimer's Care
Jennifer Kryshka, Director of Philanthropy at Alzheimer’s Community Care, discusses the critical role of donor support in expanding services for families affected by dementia.
Jennifer Kryshka, the Director of Philanthropy at Alzheimer’s Community Care (ACC), emphasizes the significance of philanthropy in supporting families affected by Alzheimer's and related disorders. With over 20 years of nonprofit leadership experience, Kryshka is spearheading efforts to raise awareness and financial support for ACC's mission, ensuring that 85 cents of every dollar donated goes directly into vital services.
ACC stands out in South Florida for its comprehensive, dementia-specific care model, offering services ranging from adult day care to caregiver training and 24-hour help lines. Kryshka also highlights the importance of community engagement through initiatives like NextGen CARES, which mobilizes young professionals in philanthropy and advocacy.
Upcoming events, such as the Season Kickoff Cocktail Reception and the Hearts of Hope Luncheon, are pivotal in fundraising and community building. These events not only raise funds but also honor individuals and organizations for their contributions to dementia care. Kryshka invites the community to participate beyond financial donations, through volunteering and advocacy, to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by Alzheimer's.
