SCV Senior Center 2008-09 Annual Campaign Update
"Ten Bucks to a Better Future"
The SCV Senior Center Annual Campaign, "Ten Bucks to a Better Future," which runs from December 1 to February 28 each year, asks all Santa Clarita Valley residents to contribute $10 yearly for the SCV Senior Center to assure that services will be available to meet the community's future needs as the Baby Boomer population ages and needs assistance. The Annual Campaign is designed to fill in the gaps, so to speak, from other major fundraisers such as the annual Celebrity Waiter Dinner that benefits the Respite Daycare program and the annual Wine Auction that benefits the Home-Delivered Meals program.
The Annual Campaign is promoted with the help of Santa Clarita publications, and this year is off to a good start — thanks to our generous citizens. This year, as of January 12, 2009, the total raised toward our $35,000 goal was just over $15,650. We offer a hearty "Thank You!" to all who have contributed to-date — including publications that continue to draw attention to the campaign, and remind all other Santa Clarita residents that we are still $20,000 from our goal. You can help! Here's what your bucks can do today:
• $5 buys a senior's transportation to and from the Center for five days.
• $10 buys one senior's lunch at the Center for a week.
• $15 buys one senior's Home-Delivered Meals for a week.
• $20 buys one day in daycare including lunch for one senior.
• $50 buys one shower grab bar and pays for installation in the home of a frail elder.
• $100 buys one day of emergency Personal Care service.
