Celebration of the Stars
Picture this, if you can: One day, and one special event so big that it can reach almost 6,000 team members at communities across the nation! That’s just what we did on Friday, June 4 as part of our first-ever Celebration of the Stars.
Summer 2021 “Sale-a-bration” Event
There was plenty of reason to celebrate after one of our Florida regional sales teams racked up 116 move-ins in just one month! It was a record-breaking month (and quarter) for that region’s sales team, which we treated to a hard-earned, two-night celebration.

The festivities began with a dinner and commemoration ceremony, and culminated on night two with “A Dance for the Ages,” a special, private event held at the Hilton Naples featuring food, music and dancing and the joy and satisfaction of coming together as a team to celebrate this amazing achievement.
Parking Lot Party
It took some ingenuity and innovation, but COVID and all, we found a way to safely gather and have some Friday afternoon fun together!
