AWM Global Advisors had a wonderful evening sponsoring the 6th Annual “Experience of a Lifetime” Gala benefiting Serving Seniors on May 2nd, 2019 at the Del Mar Country Club.
The organization aimed to raise $475,000 through this benefit event for its programs and services, including 600,000 nutritious meals, affordable housing, healthcare, and more for nearly 5,000 low-income and homeless seniors in San Diego County. The theme of this year’s Experience of a Lifetime fundraiser is “Stories for the Ages,” and the event featured a cocktail reception, gourmet dinner, live and silent auctions, and the popular “wine grab.”
Who is Serving Seniors:
Serving Seniors is a San Diego-based nonprofit with a national and international reputation for providing impactful programs and services to older adults living in poverty. Serving Seniors is supported primarily by donations, grants, bequests and investments.
Our staff, board and volunteers believe every person is worthy of respect and dignity. Our goal is to provide seniors life sustaining services in a welcoming and supportive environment where they can get the help they need. Nearly 5,000 low-income seniors rely on Serving Seniors every year, and we are proud to provide all our services free of charge.
What They Do:
Since 1970, Serving Seniors has been transforming the aging experience through our innovative approach to providing comprehensive services. Our method has earned national recognition as a model for helping seniors remain healthy and independent. We’re the only organization in San Diego, and one of the few in the United States, that provides such a broad base of vital services to vulnerable, low-income older adults.
Who They Serve:
More than 85% of our clients live below the Federal Poverty Level and struggle to meet basic needs, living on less than $1,000/month and paying $750 in rent, leaving just a few dollars a day to pay for food, medication, transportation and other expenses.
Serving Seniors is dedicated to providing exceptional care and support services for individuals age 60+ regardless of race, color, religion, sex, marital or civil union status, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, place of birth, ancestry, citizenship, military or veteran status, or disability.
