Stroke Camp Fundraiser Coincides With Stroke Awareness Month

May is Stroke Awareness Month! The Nebraska State Stroke Association (www.NebraskaStroke.org) invites everyone to support the 2018 Retreat & Refresh Stroke Camp by eating at Chipotle Mexican Grill, located at 6005 O St. in Lincoln, on Monday, May 7 between 5 and 9 p.m. Let the cashier know you’re supporting the cause to make sure that 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the Lincoln Stroke Partnership.

The Lincoln Stroke Partnership includes the Nebraska State Stroke Association, CHI Health St. Elizabeth, Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals, and Bryan Health.

Last year’s stroke camp provided a weekend of social interaction, social support, educational activities, recreation and leisure activities, relaxation and music for 30 stroke survivors and caregivers. The 2018 Retreat & Refresh Stroke Camp will be held in September.

If you can’t make the fundraiser, you can support stroke awareness and stroke survivors by donating to the Nebraska State Stroke Association, 6900 L St., Lincoln, NE 68510. Learn more at www.NebraskaStroke.org or contact Linda Stephen at (402) 484-8131 / linda@nebraskastroke.org.
