Over 25 years ago the foundation was formed for the purpose of recognizing and honoring Weld County area senior citizens, quite an active group, and their many achievements. The mission of the foundation is to hold an annual Senior Hall of Fame that recognizes outstanding volunteers from around Weld County, distributes grants to county area Senior Centers that qualify. As a matter of fact, the committee is diligently working on the coming Senior Hall of Fame which is scheduled for Saturday, May 4th. This year’s event promises to be all new, all exciting and fun.
The work of the Foundation is never ending; as it establishes annual goals, raises funds, offers grants for worthy senior center projects and activities, provides student scholarships for those working with seniors, and senior center staff professional development opportunities.
