The Highmark Walk for a Healthy
Community benefits health and human
service nonprofits. While there is no
registration fee for the walk, all participants are encouraged to fundraise.
Because Highmark Blue Shield underwrites the cost of the walk, 100 percent
of money raised goes directly to the organization of your choice. LifeSpan,
Inc. invites you to support our involvement in this year’s Highmark Walk for
a Healthy Community Saturday, May 16th at Stage AE in Pittsburgh.
LifeSpan’s mission is to offer resources, programs and services that
promote healthy and dignified aging. As the aging population grows,
government and private funding sources are decreasing. LifeSpan, a 501 (c)
(3) not-for-profit agency, must currently raise more than $500,000 annually
to supplement the program funding received from the Allegheny County
Department of Human Services Area Agency on Aging.
LifeSpan invites you to join us and participate in the Highmark Walk for a
Healthy Community in any of the following ways:

Join one of LifeSpan’s teams or form a team of your own to walk and
raise funds for LifeSpan, Inc. Register online at
www.walkforahealthycommunity.org.

Make a donation online at www.walkforahealthycommunity.org, or send
your donation made payable to LifeSpan, Inc. to 314 East 8th
Avenue,
Homestead, PA 15120—Please note in the Memo Section “Walk Donation”.

Volunteer drivers are needed to help seniors
Several partner agencies of United Way’s Open Your Heart to a Senior initiative need volunteer drivers for
various programs. Meals on Wheels, Free Rides for Seniors shuttle drivers and drivers who can transport
seniors to medical appointments in the volunteer’s own vehicle are all needed. For more information on the
program locations, or to register as a volunteer with OYHS, please call 412-307-0071 or email
allegheny@openyourhearttoasenior.org.
Spring’s approach prompts seniors to seek yard help
The turn of the calendar and warming weather has prompted a number of seniors countywide to call Open
Your Heart to a Senior seeking help with light yard work. Volunteers are needed in all neighborhoods of
Allegheny County to help clear yard debris, plant flowers, and mow seniors’ lawns if possible come late
spring or summer. This is a great volunteer opportunity for teens and groups. To register as a volunteer with
OYHS, call 412-307-0071 or email allegheny@openyourhearttoasenior.org.
Open Your Heart to a Senior needs volunteers year round and countywide
Volunteers are needed countywide to help seniors remain independent and stay safe in their homes. United
Way’s Open Your Heart to a Senior initiative now has several nonprofit partners in Allegheny County to provide volunteer services to seniors. Volunteers can deliver meals, take seniors to appointments or the grocery
store, help at senior centers and much more. Please register to attend an upcoming information session
(dates below): call 412-307-0071, email allegheny@openyourhearttoasenior.org or visit www.oyhs.org.

Older Americans Month May 2015
Older adults are a vital part of our society. Since 1963,
communities across the country have shown their gratitude by celebrating Older Americans Month each May.
The theme of this year’s celebration is “Get into the Act,”
to focus on how older adults are taking charge of their
health, getting engaged in their communities, and making a positive impact in the lives of others.
The theme also reflects on the 50th anniversary of the Older Americans Act. President Lyndon B. Johnson
signed the Older Americans Act into law in July 1965. Since that time, the Act has provided a nationwide
aging services network and funding that helps older adults live with dignity in the communities of their
choice for as long as possible. These services include home-delivered and congregate meals, caregiver
support, community-based assistance, preventive health services, elder abuse prevention, and much more.
By promoting and engaging in activity, wellness, and inclusivity, more Americans than ever before can
“Get into the Act.” While LifeSpan, Inc. provides resources and services to older adults year-round, Older
Americans Month offers an opportunity to emphasize how older adults can access the home- and
community-based services they need to live independently in their communities. It is also an occasion to
highlight how older adults are engaging with and making a difference in those communities.
Throughout the month of May, LifeSpan will be conducting activities and providing tips on how to access
resources and services designed to promote healthy and dignified aging. It is LifeSpan’s vision to advocate
for and provide innovative community resources, programs and services for the changing needs of older
adults and those who care for them. Be sure to participate in our Center activities in May, i.e., Picnic in
the Park—May 29th; Knoxville Center Banquet May 20th; Hillsdale Center—Primary Colors Art Guild
13th Annual Spring Exhibit & Sale, May 15th & 16th; Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community—
LifeSpan Fundraiser May 16th. Also attend one of UPMC/LifeSpan events in our new Senior Fitness
Centers listed on page 10 of this newsletter.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your Donations Go a Long Way no Amount is Too Small
Contributions to LifeSpan from community groups and individuals are greatly appreciated. Donations, which are taxdeductible to the extent allowed by the law, support programs and services offered to older adults living in the community.
Consider a donation to LifeSpan in lieu of flowers for bereavement or “In Memory of a Loved One”. These donations are
separated from funding received by the Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging. If you wish to make a donation, please
designate the program where you wish to apply your donation. Name and address information strictly optional:
