The Difference a Donation Can Make
6 Staff Members Advance Their Studies
In 2024, the Fox Family Professional Development Scholarship Fund supported six staff members in advancing their studies in nursing, culinary arts, dietetics and environmental sciences in order to uphold the highest quality of service to our residents and community.
Renowned Keynote Speaker
The Ye Heng Gee Memorial Fund supported renowned keynote speaker Christopher Ridenhour to visit Northcrest and deliver a motivational and educational keynote address to our staff and residents about leadership and community culture.
The Horizon Club
We are grateful for those who support the Northcrest Foundation and who demonstrate a passion for the Northcrest mission, and we’re fortunate to recognize our dedicated donors. A cumulative gift in the amount of $2,000 or more to any Northcrest Foundation funds entitles a donor to join the Horizon Club. We honor those in the Horizon Club with at least two exclusive events each year.
“Contributing to the Northcrest Foundation is a way I can pay it forward. I can help to keep Northcrest's future secure, like those in the past helped secure our present.”
