On June 6, Jennifer McCue, President and CEO of Bethany fulfilled a personal goal while also raising awareness for the important role caregivers provide to those living with various forms of dementia. Jennifer took part in a “Vertical Ascent” climbing a seven-story crane on the construction site of Bethany Riverview, a specialized dementia care centre.
Jennifer had a goal of climbing a construction crane and also wanted to raise awareness and funds for Bethany Riverview. Jennifer climbed the crane with spectators including staff, donors and construction workers watching from around the building. Jennifer climbed up the crane quickly, and once at the top, she was allowed to operate the crane! Following the climb down, there was a barbecue sponsored by Aramark for spectators to enjoy.
Thanks to all of the pledges from staff members, donors and sponsors, Bethany was able to raise over $10,000 for Bethany Care Foundation’s Capital Campaign in support of our newest care centre. The event was a great success. Thanks to our sponsors from Stuart Olson Construction, Aramark, Foothills Creamery and the Bethany Care Foundation for planning and coordinating the event.
