We Did It!
|
| Hi friends!
Senior Planet and OATS from AARP are happy to announce that with the help of over 500 generous participants, we were able to raise over $62,000 this Giving Tuesday! Thank you to everyone who helped us reach this monumental new fundraising height and thank you to AARP and UnitedHealthcare for proving the matching funds.
With your support, more older adults can use technology to stay engaged, healthy, financially secure, and connected with family and friends.
See you online!
