Davenport, IA – CASI would like to thank the Victor and Doris Day Foundation for their recent grant of $15,000 supporting Senior Advocacy services in our community. In light of the recent United Way decisions, which defunded both the Senior Advocacy and Jane’s Place Adult Day Services programs, the Day Foundation was one of our first partners to offer CASI the opportunity to amend our FY18 grant application to support senior services cut by the United Way. This grant award will allow CASI to continue serving vulnerable older adults throughout the upcoming fiscal year. Thank you to the Victor and Doris Day Foundation.
Additionally, the Day Foundation awarded CASI with a $500 discretionary grant to fund the first ever Camp CASI, a multigenerational camp designed specifically to create lasting memories between grandparents and their grandchild or grandchildren.
CASI - The Center for Active Seniors Facts:
-
CASI - The Center For Active Seniors, Inc., established in 1973, serves the needs of older adults by providing a variety of events and daily activities keeping older Quad Citians socially, mentally and physically engaged. As 10,000 baby boomers turn age 65 every day, “senior citizen” is being redefined as is the senior lifestyle. CASI’s multi -pronged approach to helping seniors age successfully includes health and wellness initiatives, social engagement opportunities, lifelong learning and volunteer opportunities to keep the older adult active and involved with our Quad Cities community.
-
Senior Advocacy programs at CASI help older adults, their families, and caregivers with needs assessment helping partner them with other area agencies and programs keeping them in their own home for as long as is safely possible.
