Special Events - Fundraisers
Why Council on Aging has Fundraisers . . .
Our fundraising efforts heighten the community awareness
of the critical need for services for the many frail and homebound seniors. Fundraising efforts are necessary to draw down the grant
match dollars that sustain these vital programs and it is through the cooperative spirit of concerned sponsorships that we succeed.
In 2008 approximately $143,000 was raised through various fundraisers.
Walk for Meals on Wheels and Other Elder Services - Compete as a team, family or individual to benefit COA Meals on Wheels and
other Elder Care Services. This is no minimum amount of money you need to raise to enter the event; however a $20.00 minimum donation
per walker is requested to receive a t-shirt .
The Glenn and Connie Ritchey Community Service Award- The namesake
award and first year honorees (2005), Glenn and Connie Ritchey, were the recipients for their longstanding civic, charitable and business
leadership within Volusia County. Future annual awards will be presented as the “Glenn & Connie Ritchey Community Service Award”,
and will be given to selected local community-minded leaders.
