Alive Inside Event In Parma

As many of you may know, I have been blessed with the opportunity to act as the Outreach & Advocacy Director for the Alive Inside Foundation since it was formed in 2015 by Michael Rossatto Bennett. Michael directed the multi-award winning Alive Inside documentary & created the Alive Inside Foundation as a means of addressing the issues facing an aging population living with Dementia. The Foundation has made amazing progress in many areas during the relatively short time we have been in existence, launching Adopt An Elder Programs in 21 cities across the USA including our most recent effort here in Parma, with music students from Kristopher Morron's Valley Forge High School band & orchestra working with residents from the Parma Care Center on Broadview Rd. under the guidance of Martha Polenz LPN and Clinical Liaison for the facility. The program was recently featured on a segment of WKYC's "See The Possible" with the cooperation of WKYC's Dawn Kendrick (see link).

This particular program also benefited from an event on June 18th that featured performances by the legendary Emerson , Lake & Palmer drummer Carl Palmer with the ELP Legacy Band along with a couple acts from Nashville.
Brother Trouble and Ira Dean were gracious enough to add their talents to our efforts. Ira even took the time to visit and play a few songs for the group at Parma Care Center during one of their Adopt An Elder sessions.
We have plans to expand our Adopt An Elder Program in other NE Ohio communities and eventually across our state. As part of our continuing growth we are always looking to expand our network and devise new ways to not only raise awareness but to raise funds. I'm delighted to announce that we have found a local partner in the amazingly creative Lidia Trempe and Rudy's Strudel, who are brain-storming to develop something special that is guaranteed to bring the world's taste buds "Alive".We are ALL going to be SURPRISED on Saturday August 20,2016 when we will be launching their creation with a Rudy's ROCKS Dementia event from Noon until 3 PM featuring Music,Food and Fun for All.
Details will be announced ASAP.
