For my Senior Project at Saint Xavier, I decided to research The Misconceptions of Aging and Retirement Living Communities for an entire semester. For the second semester, I had to prove these misconceptions some how. As a team, we decided what better way to prove these misconceptions at Peace Village by hosting a Winter Wonderland fundraiser to show people what we’re really about. We had 150 guests attend and raised a little over $10,000 for the Peace Village Benevolence Fund! This fund provides financial assistance for residents who can’t meet their financial needs. As special guests, we had the Orland Park Mayor attend, The President of Moraine Valley Community College, and The Local Newspaper Journalist.
