Honoring Our Nation's Heroes: Brookdale's Generous Donation

On this Veterans Day, Brookdale Senior Living demonstrates its unwavering commitment to honoring American heroes by presenting a $30,000 donation to Folds of Honor. This nonprofit organization provides educational scholarships for the spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members and first responders. This financial contribution showcases Brookdale's dedication to supporting not only the veterans residing within their communities but also the families of those who have sacrificed so much for the nation.

Nick Stengle, the Chief Executive Officer of Brookdale Senior Living, voiced his pride in leading an organization that deeply respects those who have served. He stated, “As a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, I’m honored to lead an organization that honors those who have served our country. Supporting Folds of Honor allows us to honor these legacies not just through care, but through action.” This sentiment reflects Brookdale's core values of passion, courage, partnership, and trust, alongside their commitment towards fostering a supportive environment for veterans living in their communities.

Folds of Honor, founded in 2007, has provided nearly 73,000 scholarships to the families of military personnel who have sacrificed their lives or sustained disabilities in the line of duty. Their mission, “Honor Their Sacrifice. Educate Their Legacy,” perfectly aligns with Brookdale’s initiatives to serve and honor veterans. Lt Col Dan Rooney, the founder and CEO of Folds of Honor, expressed his gratitude towards Brookdale for their substantial contribution, emphasizing the vital role that education plays in supporting these families.

In addition to the generous donation, Brookdale communities nationwide are celebrating Veterans Day through various events such as ceremonies and luncheons. These activities focus on recognizing the residents and employees who have a background in military service, showing appreciation for their sacrifices and contributions.
