A Chatham-Kent based real estate agency is showing support for people living with dementia by organizing a special fundraiser for the Alzheimer Society of Chatham-Kent.
Nest Realty is looking to spread some holiday cheer through their Dreaming of a Blue Christmas raffle fundraiser.
"Over 3,000 Chatham-Kent residents are currently affected by dementia and care partners can find the experience of caring for someone with dementia to be isolating," Nest Realty said in a release. "It reassures those care partners that they are not alone, especially during this holiday season which can be a difficult time for many people, including those living with dementia and their care partners."
Nest Realty is raffling off three stocking-stuffed prizes with a value of over $3,000. The stockings include a wide range of local gift certificates, items from Wooly Doodle, Centro, Retro Suites, Links of Kent and more.
There is also a chance to win a Christmas tree from Sloan’s Christmas Village during an early draw on December 8.
The draw for the three main prizes will take place on Monday, December 20 during a live social media broadcast on Nest Realty’s Facebook page.
Tickets are being sold for $10 each or three tickets for $20. You can buy the tickets by:
• Contacting the ASCK office at 519-352-1043 with a credit card
