EBOD Foundation

We are eternally grateful to Marc Greto—EBOD Foundation Board Member—and the incredible network of friends, family, and local businesses who supported this year’s Candlewyck Open, raising another $8,300 toward finding a cure for Dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Marc’s commitment is deeply personal. His father battled Lewy Body Dementia, and the toll it took on their family was heartbreaking. But in the face of loss, Marc chose action.

When his dad passed in 2020, Marc turned a neighborhood golf tournament into a mission-driven event—and in just four years, the Candlewyck Open has raised $28,000 to support research and respite care through the EBOD Foundation.

Marc, thank you for honoring your father’s memory in such a meaningful way. Your efforts are helping us move closer to a cure—and bringing comfort to countless families along the way.

🌟 Attention, EBOD Community! 🌟
Did you know that there’s an incredible program that empowers individuals in need of home care to choose their own caregivers, including family members? It’s called CDPAP (Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program), and it’s a game-changer for people with disabilities or chronic illnesses who need help at home. 🏡

Under CDPAP, you or your loved ones can hire a caregiver YOU trust, like a family member or close friend, to assist with daily activities—allowing for care with dignity, familiarity, and comfort. ❤️

✨ Key Benefits of CDPAP:
• Flexibility in choosing your caregiver
• No certification is required for caregivers (they will be trained by you!)
• Care can be provided by someone who truly knows your needs and routines

If you or someone you know could benefit from this program, we encourage you to check it out and see how it can support you and your family! 💙

We had the honor to connect with Joe Froehlich, a yoga instructor with Veteran's Yoga Project, take his class, and donate to the wonderful cause. This initiative helps veterans transition to civilian life and build a community of mindful resilience and recovery through their various resources for veterans, first responders, caregivers, active-duty military and their families. Thanks, Joe, for your commitment to those who deserve our care.
