Driving conversations are hard — emotional, complicated, and deeply personal.

This month at Fridays for Caregivers, Matt Clark, physical therapist and owner of Horizon Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine, will walk caregivers through how driving safety is assessed and supported — with dignity and respect at the center.

🚗 Safe Driving & Memory Loss
🗓 March 6 | 11 AM | Live on Zoom

You’ll learn:
✔ When driving safety may need to be reassessed
✔ How Horizon’s Safe Driving Program helps answer “Am I safe to keep driving?”
✔ How to approach difficult conversations with empathy
✔ Options that preserve independence and quality of life

💙 Free • Live • Not recorded

How Matching Works - It’s Simple. It’s Powerful.

Here’s why Birdies for Charity is one of our favorite campaigns:

1️⃣ You donate through the Heritage Classic Foundation
2️⃣ You designate Memory Matters.
3️⃣ Your gift is matched.

It’s one of the easiest ways to multiply your impact and support families navigating memory loss in our community.

Small gifts matter.
Matched gifts matter even more.
