Spirit of AGE Celebration
In lieu of the traditional AGE Awards, AGE hosted a new virtual event on July 16, 2020, to celebrate the 2020 AGE Award recipients, recognize our Legacy Fund donors, and commence AGE’s new Guardian Fund. This virtual fundraiser also included a digital silent auction, raffle, and VIP Dessert Boxes to raise $8,000 to support AGE’s COVID-19 related virtual and basic needs services, as well as funds to purchase necessary PPE for when AGE’s programs are able to re-open.
Thank You to our "Spirit of AGE" Sponsors:
