Celebrate 10 Years of the Senior Planet Center in NYC!

Since opening its doors on March 7, 2013, the Senior Planet center in New York City has changed the lives of tens of thousands of older adults. This would not have been possible without the support of all our participants, funders, collaborators, and team members throughout the years.
To celebrate this momentous milestone, we invite you to our 10 Year Celebration on Friday, April 21 from 12:00pm – 3:00pm EDT!
Join us as we highlight the achievements of our participants, hear from our Executive Director, Tom Kamber, and enjoy light refreshments.
Please RSVP by April 10 to ensure a spot at our 10 Year Celebration!
