As we prepare for this year’s gala, we are reminded of the values that guide our mission. “The way we treat our children in the dawn of their lives and the way we treat our elderly in the twilight of their lives is a measure of the quality of a nation,” said Hubert Humphrey. This sentiment reflects our strong commitment to providing essential support and services to older adults and underscores the importance of coming together as a community to ensure they can live with dignity, independence, and connection. The gala’s proceeds will benefit the 10 essential programs and services that Senior Services Plus provides reaching over tens of thousands of older adults each year at no cost to those receiving them. These services include Meals on Wheels, Information and Assistance, and Congregate Dining, all designed to improve the quality of life for older adults.
The evening will begin with a cocktail hour from 5:30 to 6:00 p.m., followed by a dinner and a presentation of awards to the honorees. In addition, a silent auction will open on Monday, June 9, 2025, and will run until 7:30 p.m. the night of the event. All funds raised through the gala and silent auction will help offset the costs of providing Senior Services Plus programs and services provided at no cost to the older adults receiving them.
Tickets and tables can be purchased online at www.seniorservicesplus.org/gala. Individual tickets are available for $75, and tables of eight can be purchased for $600. The deadline for ticket sales is Friday, May 23. Join us as we honor our partners, raise critical funds, and build awareness to support the vital services we provide to older adults.
