CHPV is please to support the Dementia Friendly Cruise Down the Chicago River! Families (person with diagnosis + guest) can experience this unique, 2-hour ride with their loved one diagnosed with memory impairment in a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. Enjoy the beauty of Chicago’s iconic skyline and historic architecture from inside or outside the glass-topped Odyssey boat! The boat is wheelchair accessible with elevator access to the dock. Allow extra time for arrival. Our generous sponsors have made it possible for this event (valued at $200 a pair) to be provided for only $25.00 per pair. Cruise staff will be oriented to the dementia-friendly, accessible experience by Elite Cruises and Vacations Travel.

Volunteers Needed! A limited number of volunteer spots are available to help with wayfinding and enjoy the cruise! Contact Amy Keefner (see above) for more information.
