At The Forkas Home Team, we believe in more than just helping families find their dream homes—we’re passionate about creating meaningful connections and supporting causes close to our hearts. One of those causes is the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on the Alzheimer’s Association, an organization dedicated to advancing research, providing support for families, and ultimately finding a cure for this heartbreaking disease.
Why We Support the Alzheimer’s Association
Alzheimer’s disease affects millions of families worldwide, and its impact reaches far beyond those diagnosed. Caregivers, friends, and loved ones all experience the ripple effects of this disease, which robs individuals of their memories and independence.
The Alzheimer’s Association works tirelessly to provide resources, advocacy, and hope for families navigating this journey. Through education, a 24/7 helpline, and funding groundbreaking research, the Association ensures that no one has to face this disease alone.
YOUR REFERRALS REALLY DO HELP THE COMMUNITY!
Giving back to our community is our goal whenever we buy and sell real estate.
Every year we donate a portion of our income from real estate transactions to worthy cause organizations we support.
Please take a moment to learn about one of the charities that has touched our lives.

We have chosen to donate a portion of our sales to the Alzheimer's Association in memory of my father, who bravely battled the illness for eight years before passing away in 2008. Witnessing firsthand how the disease not only affects the individual but deeply impacts the entire family, especially caregivers, we recognize the critical need for more research and early interventions. Grateful for the invaluable support and resources provided by the Alzheimer's Association during my father's journey, we are committed to giving back and aiding others facing similar challenges. So if you know someone looking to buy or sell real estate, please have them call us at 925-351-4924.
