At The Forkas Home Team, Real Estate is About People—Not Just Properties

For us, real estate goes beyond transactions. It’s about building a community rooted in compassion, connection, and service. We believe in lifting others up and paying it forward values that guide everything we do. That’s why we proudly support the Alzheimer’s Association, a cause that’s deeply personal and profoundly important to many of our team members and the families we serve.

Understanding the Impact of Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is more than memory loss. It’s a heartbreaking, progressive condition that alters the lives of millions individuals and families alike. As the leading cause of dementia, Alzheimer’s robs people of their independence, identity, and connection with loved ones. With no cure yet, the emotional and financial burden continues to grow.

The Alzheimer’s Association is leading the charge in the fight against this disease providing hope through research, support through resources, and strength through community.

Why This Cause Matters to Us

We’ve seen the toll Alzheimer’s takes, not just in statistics, but in the faces and stories of people we love parents, grandparents, friends. These personal experiences have shaped our commitment to stand beside others going through the same struggle. Supporting the Alzheimer’s Association is our way of honoring those we’ve lost, uplifting those still fighting, and helping pave the way for a future without this disease.

How the Alzheimer’s Association Makes a Difference

Through the generosity of supporters, the Alzheimer’s Association is able to offer:

• 24/7 Helpline: Round-the-clock guidance and emotional support for individuals and families in need.

• Local Support Groups: A safe space to connect, share, and find strength with others on the same journey.

• Educational Programs: Empowering communities with knowledge about early detection, caregiving, and treatment options.

• Research Funding: Fueling breakthroughs that bring us closer to prevention, better care and ultimately, a cure.

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 just like the Alzheimer’s Association

Please take a moment to learn about one of the charities that has touched our lives.
