Thanks to everyone who supported our recent Inaugural Intergenerational Senior prom, we were able to send older adults from all four of our centers to this year’s Prom.
Please take 4 minutes out of your day to watch the Senior Prom come to life through the Royal Court selection, shopping for prom outfits, red carpet glam, and more heartwarming footage from the Prom-you will not want to miss this feel-good uplifting video!
And, you can also check out our CBN Class of 2023 Yearbook with snapshots of all the event’s festivities and fun “then and now” flashback photos of CBN older adults, faculty and staff, and high school seniors volunteering from Eleanor Roosevelt High School:
And, to double your contribution impact, we still have a matching gift opportunity up to $50,000 to help us reach our goal before the end of the year.
Although our prom may be over, our work is far from done. We have already received greater demand for next year and have begun exploring larger venues to accommodate more older adults to attend the Prom.
This event has underscored that we must continue to offer opportunities like this to help alleviate loneliness and isolation in older adults in New York City and we cannot do it with your support. A gift to the 2023 Fundraising Campaign & Senior Prom will help us continue to provide well-balanced meals, companionship, and the critical services necessary for New York City’s most vulnerable older adults.
For 52 years, Carter Burden Network has been a leader in aging services in NYC. We provide robust programming that facilitates peer connections, combats isolation, and supports older adults in pursuing their passions. We support the efforts of 6,000 older New Yorkers annually to live safely and with dignity through on-site, home-based, and virtual programming that offer vital resources to support their independence and provide opportunities that form connections and enrich their lives.
