The DuPage Care Center will host a fundraiser for the community to send Valentine wishes to Center residents.
For a $5 donation, community members may send a balloon to a Care Center resident to spread cheer and warm wishes. In the past, the public sent nearly 1,000 heart-shaped, helium balloons to line the corridors and rooms on Valentine’s Day. Volunteers and staff deliver the balloons to the residents living at the Center, brightening their days, and bringing lots of smiles along the way.
Balloon donations will be accepted until Feb. 11, and may be ordered online through the DuPage Care Center Foundation’s website at https://tinyurl.com/24az5avf. Balloons will be delivered Friday, Feb. 13 ahead of Valentine’s Day. Funds from the sale of balloons will benefit the Resident Recreation Fund, which provides programs and activities to improve the quality of life of residents living at the Center.
The Mission of the DuPage Care Center is to provide quality long term care as well as short term rehabilitative services to DuPage County residents in a professional and cost-effective manner.
