Claremont Nursing & Rehabilitation Center held a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on October 11, 2016 to unveil the Evelyn T. Brenneman Memorial Garden and announce the establishment of the Friends of Claremont Foundation.
The ceremony paid tribute to Mrs. Brenneman, a former resident of CNRC, who passed away in May of 2013. Mrs. Brenneman valued Claremont as a special place in the community and made a generous bequest to Claremont.
A portion of the Brenneman endowment was used to create the memorial garden as a place of peace and tranquility surrounded by nature for residents to enjoy. The remainder of the endowment funds have been allocated for the creation of the Friends of Claremont, a 501©3 non-profit organization, founded to serve as a path for others to consider charitable giving to enhance the quality of life and care for CNRC residents.
