Allegany County: Senior Foundation Fundraiser for Meals-on-Wheels

Senior Foundation Fundraiser for Meals-on-Wheels

The Allegany Senior Foundation is sponsoring its annual “Swingin’ to the Oldies” fundraiser Saturday, June 3rd, from 4 to 9 p.m. The evening promises good music, food, and an awesome basket auction.
“We’re looking forward to another great party,” said Reita Sobeck-Lynch, President of the Senior Foundation. “L’Italia is catering the dinner, and the Jazz Ninjas will be playing all evening. There will be a cash bar serving wine and beer, and we have assorted homemade desserts.”
All proceeds from the event will go to the Office for the Aging’s Meals-on-Wheels program serving Allegany County. The evening has many corporate and private sponsors. “The money goes straight to food costs,” explained Madeleine Gasdik, Director of the Office for the Aging. “We’re facing uncertainty with future funding. Support from the Senior Foundation allows us to provide meals to everyone who needs them, without having to start a waiting list.”
Swingin’ to the Oldies is held at the Activities Center on the Wellsville Campus of Alfred State College. Tickets are $20 each, or 4 for $70 and can be purchased at Trend Addictions in Wellsville or from any member of the Senior Foundation.
