Walk to end Alzheimer\u2019s\"\"<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

It was a beautiful day at Suffolk County Farm in Yaphank on Saturday, September 28, as the Riverhead Building Supply team stepped out on the Walk to End Alzheimer\u2019s<\/strong>.\u00a0 Participants held their End Alzheimer\u2019s flowers high, then strolled the 2 mile farm field route that took them past a field of sunflowers in full bloom.
\nOver 600 participated in the September 28 event in Yaphank, raising over $147,000 to date. Donations for the event are accepted until the end of the year. If you didn\u2019t have an opportunity to contribute, and would like to now, search for Riverhead Building Supply on the alz.org<\/a> site by selecting Donate at the top of the page. Funds go to Alzheimer\u2019s research, and support and care for those with Alzheimer\u2019s and their caregivers.\u00a0 Walk to End Alzheimer\u2019s<\/strong> events are held in communities nationwide as an annual fundraiser in support of the Alzheimer\u2019s Association.
\nThe Alzhiemer\u2019s Association site<\/a>\u00a0 offers resources, help and support to those with Alzheimer\u2019s and their caregivers and family members. The association has a round-the-clock helpline, 800-272-3900, to answer questions and provide information.<\/p>\n

Think Pink<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now that we are in October, we have turned our fundraising color from\"\" purple to pink as Breast Cancer Awareness month begins. Riverhead Building Supply has a number of fundraising events planned during the month, all dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research and the ultimate goal of finding a cure.\u00a0In New England, funds go to the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation. In New York, funds go to the American Cancer Society, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
\nBreast cancer affects so many, you undoubtedly know someone who has beaten this disease, or one who has been lost to it.\u00a0 Whatever your connection is, take a moment to consider how your contribution, large or small, could provide support and treatment, saving another person and their family from the pain and heartbreak of breast cancer.
\nDuring the month, join us in a variety of fun and worthwhile activities. A few events that will assist our teams in reaching their fundraising goals include: bake sales at store locations; pink ribbon pins and bracelets for sale; pink bagels for sale; a \u201cpaint-and-sip\u201d evening; a special drink for pink tasting at Lenz Winery (NY) and more.
\nTo contribute or to participate with our Long Island team, visit Making Strides Against Breast Cancer<\/a> or follow this link to donate to the walk<\/a>. The Gloria Gemma Flames of Hope Run\/Walk took place Oct. 6 in Providence, RI with several RBS team members completing the 5K walk. While the walk is over, you can still contribute to the RBS team to support the cause. Make a contribution to the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation, and include Riverhead Building Supply as your team in the comments.
\nBoth organizations share a wealth of information and resources on their sites, be sure to see what they have to offer, and find ways that you can become involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
