We are thrilled to announce that the Conversations to Remember (C2R) 2025 Annual Fundraising Season is officially underway! We kicked off our drive on November 4th, National Day of Community Service, and the campaign will run through the end of December. This is the most critical time of the year for us to secure the resources we need to grow our impact.
Why Your Support Is Vital
We’ve seen firsthand how powerful a weekly video call can be—it’s tangible evidence that our mission works. But the need for connection is greater than ever. Millions of older adults are experiencing the harsh reality of social isolation.
Currently, we simply cannot keep up with the demand. Your donations are vital because they directly fund our ability to:
- Expand Our Reach: We need resources to train more volunteers and onboard new care facilities, especially those serving seniors in rural or under-resourced communities who face the highest barriers to connection.
- Maintain Technology and Training: Scaling our program requires investing in the systems that manage volunteer training, track weekly calls, and ensure every student volunteer is prepared to handle the complexity of conversations with seniors.
Every dollar raised allows us to welcome another senior who is currently waiting for a weekly conversation, affirming their dignity and belonging. If you are ready to make a direct impact, please make your tax-deductible contribution today.
Step Up for Seniors: Our First Virtual Walkathon
We’re adding a fun, new way to participate this year! We are hosting our First Virtual Walkathon from December 14th to December 20th.
Since it’s virtual, you can participate anywhere, at any pace, at any time during that week! Whether you walk a mile, run a 5K, or just commit to moving for 30 minutes each day, you can turn your activity into meaningful donations for C2R.
Are you ready to lace up your shoes and fundraise for connection? Anyone interested in participating as a walker, setting up a fundraising team, or assisting in any other capacity should reach out to us today: [email protected].
We Need Your Time, Too!
Financial contributions are essential, but they are not the only ingredient for success. As we expand, we are looking for dedicated adults to join our leadership team in weekly organizational roles. If you are a professional with experience in operations, volunteer management, or outreach, and can dedicate consistent time each week to guide our program’s growth, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us via the walkathon email above for more details.
Your time and treasure are the lifeblood of Conversations to Remember. We know that by working together, we can meet the growing demand and ensure that no senior is left isolated. Please consider making a generous donation today. Thank you for making a difference!
