Sopris Lodge at Carbondale announced it will partner with the Alzheimer’s Association to host The Longest Day® fundraiser on Saturday, May 11 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Members of the public are invited to visit the Sopris Lodge campus, located at 295 Rio Grande Ave. in Carbondale, to enjoy food, activities, and live entertainment by Rodrigo Arreguin.

Guests may also take part in a silent auction featuring an array of items generously donated by local businesses from across the Roaring Fork Valley. All proceeds from the day’s event will be donated to The Longest Day.

Developed by the Alzheimer’s Association, The Longest Day is a global initiative that aims to outshine the darkness of Alzheimer’s by raising funds to advance care, support, and research efforts in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.

Sopris Lodge’s event will feature chef-prepared barbeque and two beverages for $10 (barbeque only $5) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., music from a local guitarist, a silent auction, and a remembrance tree to connect with those who are living with or have been lost to dementia.

This community fundraiser is open to the public, but an RSVP is required no later than May 8. To RSVP, please call Chase Corte at 970-456-8764 or visit soprislodge.com/events.

Note: Off-site parking is available along Main Street. Guests may also park in the public lot across from Town Hall and take the Rio Grande Trail to campus.
