Amblebrook 5K

On your mark, get set, go! Amblebrook at Gettysburg hosted a 5K on Satuday September 14th to benefit one of the Memory Care initiatives at the Adams County Office for Aging. All proceeds will go towards purchasing robotic pets for individuals who are living with Alzheimer’s disease or another related dementia in their homes. Our goal was to raise enough money to purchase 50 pets, and it is safe to say we have exceeded our goal! A special thank you goes out to all of those involved to make this event possible. Check out these great photos captured by Bill Glass!
