BEDFORD, Pa. - March 13, 2015 - PRLog -- Colonial Courtyard at Bedford will hold a “Breakfast with the Easter Bunny” charity event on Saturday, March 28 at the senior living community, 220 Donahue Manor Road in Bedford.

    There will be two seating times for the breakfast. The first will be at 9:30 a.m., with the second seating time set for 10:30 a.m. The breakfast event is open to the public.

    Donations of $6 for adults and $4 for children 12 and under will benefit Luke’s Wings, whose mission is to bring together veterans and wounded warriors with their families and friends during their time of need. The organization covers travel expenses enabling families and loved ones to support those who were injured while serving their country.

    “All of IntegraCare’s senior living communities raise money for Luke’s Wings throughout the year,” said Nanette Bankes, Activities Coordinator at Colonial Courtyard at Bedford, which is one of 11 senior living communities in Pennsylvania and Maryland operated by Wexford-based IntegraCare. “We want to raise awareness of Luke’s Wings. We want to honor our veterans for their sacrifices to our country and our way of life.

    “Luke’s Wings enables family members to reunite with wounded warriors during their greatest time of need,” she said. “We’d like to take a fun and uplifting event like the ‘Breakfast with the Easter Bunny’ and use the proceeds to help our veterans.”

    The breakfast will include a buffet. Children and families may have their photograph taken with the Easter Bunny, Bankes said.
