Thank you to Cunnick-Collins Life Celebration Center for hosting our Jazz and Generosity event, the minute I met Tracy the event coordinator I knew I could work with her and trust her to make sure my vision came to life. We would also like to thank the Chef’s Catering Company, Rick Davis for being our MC and keeping things running smoothly, for the Bucktown Stompers coming all the way from Chicago providing amazing 1920’s jazz music, everyone who provided silent auction items, and last but the least, YOU the donors who helped make this event a sold out success.

WOW… what a night! ✨🎶

Thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, volunteered, bid in the silent auction, and supported our Jazz and Generosity event last night. The energy in the room was incredible, and this video captures the vibe perfectly!

From the amazing music by the Bucktown Stompers, to the dancing, laughter, beautiful venue, and generous community support, it was truly a special evening celebrating 60 years of Ridgecrest Village and supporting the mission of the Ridgecrest Foundation.

Because of your generosity, we have already raised at least $20,000 toward our new call light system for Crest Health Center, with more donations still coming in. That impact will directly help improve care and safety for our residents.

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, donors, board members, staff, volunteers, residents, and everyone who helped make this event possible. We are so grateful for this community. ❤️

Stay tuned, we will be sharing more photos from our photographer soon! 📸

✨ Donor Spotlight: Eloise ✨

We are so grateful to shine a light on Eloise, whose generosity continues to make a meaningful impact at Ridgecrest Village. 💙

Eloise recently supported the Ridgecrest Foundation through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)—a thoughtful and impactful way to give that directly supports the care, comfort, and community our residents experience every day.

Her gift is helping move important projects forward and reminds us that there are many meaningful ways to give.

If you’re interested in learning more about tax-smart ways to support the Foundation, a QCD may be one option to consider.

Thank you, Eloise, for your kindness, generosity, and belief in our mission. You are truly making a difference. 💫
