Emeritus Launches ‘Lifetime of Love’ Contest on Facebook
(2/3/2010)
SEATTLE—In honor of Valentine's Day, Emeritus Senior Living, a national provider of assisted living and Alzheimer's and related dementia care services to seniors, is holding a Facebook contest that encourages fans to share personal and family love stories.
Emeritus' "Lifetime of Love" contest will give fans the opportunity to share their own love stories, or family love stories that have been passed down from parents and grandparents. Fans are encouraged to post their love stories as comments to the "Valentine’s Day Contest" tab on the Emeritus Senior Living Facebook page. One grand prize winner will receive a $500 American Express gift card. Twenty additional winners will receive a $100 American Express gift card. All winners will be announced via Facebook on February 15th, 2010.
The inspiration behind the Emeritus "Lifetime of Love" contest comes from sharing the personal stories and journeys of many of the residents who live at its 316 communities across the country. Among the residents who have shared their heartwarming love stories with Emeritus are four Garden Grove, CA couples who are scheduled to renew their wedding vows at Emeritus at Garden Manor community in a group ceremony on February 12th, 2010.
Legal residents of the United States who are 18 years of age or older and are registered Facebook users can enter to win. Participants must visit the Emeritus Senior Living Facebook page, and post their love story as a comment to the "Valentine's Day Contest" tab. A panel from Emeritus will determine the winner based on the merit of the story and its romantic appeal. Fans may enter as many times as they wish.
