Chapter “Brain Ball” Fundraiser
Ventas, Inc. (NYSE:VTR) (“Ventas” or the “Company”), a
leading real estate investment trust focused on healthcare and
seniors housing, today announces its Ventas Charitable Foundation
contributed $100,000 to the Alzheimer’s Association, at its
National Capital Area Chapter’s Brain Ball fundraiser. This support
represents Ventas’s commitment to help find a cure for Alzheimer’s
disease, which affects many individuals who receive care and live
in the Company’s properties.
The 2015 Brain Ball honored Ventas Chairman and CEO, Debra A.
Cafaro, who accepted the honor on behalf of her late mother, Dee
Francis Cafaro, who died from Alzheimer’s nearly one year ago.
“This honor signifies my chance to stand with all of you, and to
salute your mission to fight a cruel disease that robs us of so
much we hold dear,” Ms. Cafaro told the audience, which together
raised more than $1.5 million for the organization.
“We are proud to own so many fine communities that are home to
nearly 100,000 seniors nationwide. At Ventas, my colleagues and I
are committed to pursuing excellence on their behalf,” said Ms.
Cafaro.
Contributors to the Brain Ball also included some of Ventas’s
valued business partners -- many of the nation’s most esteemed care
providers -- including Atria Senior Living, Kindred Healthcare,
Sunrise Senior Living and Brookdale Senior Living. Ms. Cafaro
saluted them for their mission to provide residents with a safe,
secure environment and excellent care.
“These respected companies and their legions of dedicated
employees are on the front line of service. They provide essential
care and comfort to Alzheimer’s residents and their families every
day,” Ms. Cafaro told the audience.
The second annual Brain Ball, held on May 8, 2015, attracted
more than 600 people to the event, which was held at the Andrew W.
Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D. C.
