Brookdale Senior Living Honors Veterans with Donation to Folds of Honor
BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – This Veterans Day, Brookdale Senior Living is proud to honor our nation’s heroes with a $30,000 donation to Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization providing academic scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members and first responders. This contribution reflects Brookdale’s ongoing commitment to honoring veterans, including the many residents and employees who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
“As a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, I’m honored to lead an organization that holds such deep respect for those who have served our country,” Nick Stengle, Chief Executive Officer of Brookdale Senior Living, said. “At Brookdale, we are privileged to serve hundreds of veterans in our communities and work alongside associates who share that bond of service. Supporting Folds of Honor allows us to honor these legacies not just through care, but through action, and we’re proud to stand alongside Folds of Honor in their mission.”
Founded in 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded nearly 73,000 scholarships to the families of America’s fallen or disabled service members and first responders. The organization’s mission — “Honor Their Sacrifice. Educate Their Legacy.” — aligns closely with Brookdale’s cornerstones of passion, courage, partnership, and trust.
“We are grateful to Brookdale Senior Living for remembering our veterans and for helping to provide life-changing academic scholarships to the families of fallen or disabled military service members and first responders,” Lt Col Dan Rooney, founder and CEO of Folds of Honor, said. “The patriotic staff at Brookdale Senior Living understands the importance of an education and is doing something about it.”
Brookdale communities across the country are celebrating Veterans Day with ceremonies, luncheons, and special events recognizing residents and employees who have served. Brookdale extends its heartfelt gratitude to veterans and their families for their service.
In addition to the donation, Brookdale has released a special edition episode of The Grey Take, a podcast geared toward caregivers of adult loved ones. Season one, episode eight, features real stories and resources for people caring for veterans who may be experiencing trauma.
