1035 West Kimberly Road, Davenport, IA 52806 | 563.386.7477 | CASIseniors.org CASI 2 Connections A Message from Our President Annual CASI St. Patrick’s Day Race Celebrates 38 Years! Like with most things, time certainly flies when you’re busy planning one of the community’s largest and oldest St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The annual CASI St. Patrick’s Day Race was started 38 years ago and remains the single largest fundraiser for CASI. Through the generous support of our amazing sponsors, 100% of the funds raised through the race are reinvested back into our mission of helping older adults age successfully. While downtown has become known for it’s adult celebrations of this Irish holiday, the CASI St. Patrick’s Day Race offers a family friendly event to kick off the fun. The Tot Trot, sponsored by Sears Manufacturing, begins at 9:00 am on 2nd Street outside the RME (River Music Experience). The 1 Mile Family Fun Run, sponsored by Cobham Mission Systems, begins at 9:30 am. And the big 5K Race, presented by Vibrant Credit Union, begins with a shotgun start at 10:00 am sharp! Race Packet Pick-Up is at the RME: Friday March 13 from Noon - 6:00 pm Saturday (Race Day) from 7:00 am - 9:50 am Won’t you join us as we race towards a greater future for older adults in the Quad Cities? Our mission is powered by you. Literally our Mission in Motion. Registration now open at www.CASIseniors.org
9:50am March 2020 3 Philanthropy Powers CASI’s Mission
March is a month to celebrate an amazing team of professionals at CASI – National Professional Social Work month. We celebrate the great work done day in and day out, around-the-clock by Andy, Brenda, Carrie, Harvey, Jody and Vicky, our awesome CASI Senior Advocates. Every day they bring a sense of peace and comfort to some of the most vulnerable members of our community as they make connections, solve problems, give comfort and hope, and simply listen. Dozens of our friends and neighbors are helped daily, each person served lovingly with no expectation of a fee. How can our Senior Advocates provide this important lifeline for clients FREE of charge? It is simply because of the generosity of many individual donors, corporate partners, and foundations, along with Scott County. These wonderful gifts of philanthropy power all of our programs. For example: a gift of $30 can give the gift of a CASI membership to someone who would benefit from the socialization available each day; a gift of $70 can provide a day of Adult Day Services at Jane’s Place for someone with dementia; and a gift of $100 can provide one day of a Senior Advocate’s work on behalf of their hundreds of clients. At CASI, we are grateful for every dollar that you invest. Thank you for the opportunity to serve our community in this important way. To support CASI, or specifically Senior Advocacy or Jane’s Place, please visitCASIseniors.org or drop off/send your gift to CASI at 1035 W. Kimberly Rd., Davenport, IA 52806. Contact Sue Rector for more information at [email protected] or 563.386.7477 ext 229. Thank you! Changing Lifestyles? Downsizing to a smaller home? Need a free market analysis of your present home?
