As summer begins to tip its hat to fall, there’s a certain sweetness in these last warm days. At Vivie, we don’t rush the season—we savor it.
You’ll find joy woven into the everyday: the strum of a guitar at an outdoor concert, the comfort of a late-summer meal shared with friends, the laughter that follows when a beloved pet comes trotting down the hall. Some of our communities even give a nod to the Minnesota State Fair—celebrating with food, music, and the kind of connections that make this time of year one to cherish.
The community picnic in Alexandria was more than just an afternoon of food and fun—it was a reminder of the bonds that connect us to one another and to the neighborhoods we call home.
At our annual golf fundraiser, friendly competition turned into generosity, raising vital support for the Vivie Foundation and the programs that touch so many lives.
And at Lake Harriet, our 5k/10k walk/run brought people together to move with purpose, celebrating wellness while giving back to the causes that strengthen our communities.
Philanthropy at Vivie isn’t separate from daily life—it’s woven into it. Through a shared meal, a game on the green, or a run along the lake, we celebrate the season by living our values: caring for one another, lifting up our neighbors, and giving back in ways that matter.
The beauty of these moments is that they remind us of something important: while the seasons may change, joy and connection are constants at Vivie. Whether it’s July or January, the heart of Vivie life is found in being together—and in giving back, together.
So, as the sun sets a little earlier and the air takes on that hint of autumn, we hold onto these moments. Not because they’re fleeting, but because they point to what never fades—community, generosity, and the simple joy of living life fully.
