Spring 2015 Dialogue
Spring 2015 Dialogue FUNDRAISING RESOURCES AND SERVICES FOR SENIORS LifeSpan’s goal is to raise $10,000.00! Inside this issue: Fundraising 1 Announcements 2 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.

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.

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.
