Mandy Macri presents Herbie Krisle with DAC Fitness' donation to Page Robbins
in the facility's garden.
DAC Fitness raised more than $1,000 from its third annual DAC New Year's Eve 10k Race, which was held on Friday, December 31st and benefited the Page Robbins Adult Day Care Center. Page Robbins is a Collierville-based nonprofit organization that provides care for those suffering from dementia-related diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.
"DAC Fitness has always been dedicated to giving back to the community," said Robert Creech, president of DAC Fitness. "We're thrilled that through the participation of our members and the community, we were able to once again make a significant donation to such a worthy cause."
In the last three years, DAC Fitness has raised more than $6,000 for Page Robbins.
"Working with DAC Fitness has numerous benefits for our facility and the money raised this year is enough to supplement one full day of service," said Herbie Krisle, Page Robbins' executive director. "In addition to the funds raised, DAC's race emphasizes the importance to get out and move, which has a huge impace on brain health and ultimately, illnesses like dementia and Alzheimer's disease."
