SeniorLAW Center 2022 Storytelling Fundraising Campaign

Early Sponsors: Click here to purchase your sponsorship!

Dear Reader:

This year, in place of our annual Gala, SeniorLAW Center is hosting an inclusive and interactive Storytelling Fundraising Campaign.

No cocktails. No reception. No black tie. No awards. This year, we focus on access to justice and the stories of those who came before us. We made this decision for two reasons…

First, it just didn’t seem right for SeniorLAW Center to host an in-person celebration this year, as the population we serve continues to be disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and its loss and hardships.

Second, we are forever inspired by the stories we hear through our work. It just made good sense to create a space for us to share these stories with one another and to support the thousands of older people we serve each year who face poverty, homelessness, abuse.

Today, we invite you to be a part of our Storytelling Fundraising Campaign by being an Early Sponsor.

At SeniorLAW Center, we are reminded every day of the transformative impact that we have on the lives of vulnerable older people. We witness the lived experiences of our clients as they alter perspectives, change laws, improve lives.

Join us by supporting the essential work we do to pursue justice in aging. And join us by sharing a story of an older person who had a powerful impact on your life. I lost my mom this year. I yearn to tell her story of the challenges she overcame and how she helped make me the woman, the leader, the mom I am today.

Here’s what we have planned. Starting on April 27, National Tell A Story Day, SeniorLAW Center will launch the first in a series of eblasts, social media posts, website enhancements in which we will post clients, staff, partners, friends, and donors sharing their stories about the role a special older person has played in their lives.

We will encourage participants to tell their stories in any way or ways that they wish. A brief cell phone video….a short written piece… a group of photographs …whatever way is best.

We will share different posts at least once per week, through June 30, offering many opportunities for donors to support and people to share their stories with us and with every member of the wide SeniorLAW Center community.

As an Early Sponsor, you will receive several wonderful benefits, including public recognition/logo placement in all our Storytelling Fundraising Campaign eblasts, social media posts, and on SeniorLAW Center’s website.

Once the Storytelling Fundraising Campaign concludes at the end of June, SeniorLAW Center will memorialize all shared stories in a special page on our website. We will proudly acknowledge many of our Storytelling Fundraising Campaign sponsors on this webpage through the end of December.

We make positive change happen through the stories we hear, the stories we help write, the stories we share with one another, the stories that make everyone’s life better.

This year, as we tell stories, emerge from the pandemic, and tirelessly seek justice for older people in need, please consider giving or renewing your support.

To be a Storytelling Fundraising Campaign Early Sponsor, follow the link here or at the top of the page and complete the sponsorship form by Friday, April 22. That way, we can list you in our inaugural posts and eblasts. This is a new way of doing things in a time that is unprecedented. We think it will be powerful. We hope you will join us.

Very truly yours,

Karen C. Buck
Executive Director
