Goldrush Getaways has donated a cruise vacation certificate to support Artisan Mind and its mission to bring creativity, compassion, connection, and dignity to individuals living with Alzheimer's and dementia. The donated certificate will be featured at Artisan Mind's upcoming benefit, "Living Color: An Inspiring Evening to Benefit Artisan Mind," taking place September 25, 2026, at the Folsom Community Center.
The donation reflects the travel agency's ongoing commitment to giving back to the communities it serves. Artisan Mind provides meaningful, creative programs designed specifically for individuals experiencing memory loss. Through offerings such as Art Reveals, Expressive Painting, Art-Inspired Bible Studies, and Personalized Life Enrichment Sessions, the organization creates opportunities for self-expression, emotional well-being, cognitive engagement, connection, and renewed purpose.
"We are honored to support Artisan Mind and the important work being done for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer's and dementia," said Jeff Oestreich, President and CEO of Goldrush Getaways. "Their commitment to providing meaningful experiences that preserve dignity and bring joy to those living with memory loss is inspiring, and contributing to such a worthy cause is a privilege."
The need for these programs continues to grow, particularly among low-income seniors throughout El Dorado, Placer, and Sacramento counties. Currently, 48 percent of Artisan Mind's clients receive scholarships, making community support and fundraising essential to keeping these programs accessible to those who need them most.
Funds raised through the Living Color benefit will help provide art materials, trained facilitators, outreach, and scholarships so the organization can continue delivering its heart-centered programs to individuals who might otherwise be unable to participate.
Goldrush Getaways maintains that travel has the power to create memories, strengthen connections, and enrich lives. Through its support of the benefit, the company aims to help bring attention to a cause focused on creating meaningful moments and honoring the individual stories of those affected by memory loss.
"The generous donation and commitment from Goldrush Getaways means a great deal to this mission," said Tiffany Ramirez, Founder and Executive Director of Artisan Mind. "Together, the community can help ensure that individuals living with Alzheimer's and dementia continue to experience creativity, connection, purpose, and the dignity they deserve."
