| If you’re reading this far down, we admire you. You investigate the fine print. You push past limits. You commit. In other words, we think you’re Senior Planet Supporter material. Senior Planet Supporters are part of a nationwide community of people over 60 who are aging with attitude and fighting to change the way the world views getting older. You can become a Supporter today in about one minute: just click here to make a donation that supports the work of Senior Planet and our parent nonprofit Older Adults Technology Services (OATS). No amount is too small–we mean it. Okay, we’re done. You can get back to your boundary-pushing life. |
