On annual Senior Citizen Day, we are reminded of the hardworking generations that came before us. Best Corporate Events is dedicated to offering over 17 CSR charitable team building programs, several of which help senior citizens!
Our CSR team building events, perfect as senior citizen day programs, feature group activities designed to boost team spirit while giving back to the community. These uplifting events include activities, games, and challenges. The events result in the creation of items for donation to local and national charities. These charities are for the benefit of overseas soldiers, schools, the homeless, children, the elderly, and Alzheimer’s patients – to name a few.
When is Senior Citizen Day?
Senior Citizen Day is celebrated annually on August 21st in the United States. This day recognizes senior citizens in the community, honors their accomplishments, and raises awareness of their needs.
Seniors by the Numbers
Most people define a “senior citizen” as someone over 65. In 1950, there were 200 million people aged 60 or older. By 2000, that number had tripled to nearly 600 million. By 2050, this number is estimated to nearly triple to 1.5 billion.
Seniors have a wealth of knowledge gained through their hard work and years of experience. They are a valuable asset to our community. It is our pleasure to offer programs that give back and help so many seniors in need.
Featured Senior Citizen Day Programs
Project Alzheimers™
Our first featured program in honor of Senior Citizen Day is Project Alzheimers™. Designed to help people living with Alzheimer’s, this program reawakens their souls through listening to their favorite music. Your group will compete in a fun competition to earn points. The points help them earn MP3 players and other items to be donated to the elderly. Local organizations receive the donations and are trained on how to set up the MP3 players for those in their care. As the teams gain points, other items earned include headphones, knot blanket kits, stuffed animal kits, markers, and all the tools necessary to complete the care packages.
Donating items that can change people’s quality of life will touch your group’s hearts and elevate morale. Our giveback programs create lasting memories for both your team and the donation recipients.
Build-a-Wheelchair®
Another popular program that helps seniors is our Build-a-Wheelchair® program. Build-a-Wheelchair® is a corporate social responsibility program born out of a desire to help American veterans and others with various mobility challenges. In this fun and worthwhile program, groups use teamwork skills and fun activities to earn the materials necessary to assemble, test, and decorate these new wheelchairs for donation.
Get Your Company Involved this Senior Citizen Day
The most special part of our CSR programs is at the end, when someone from the charity comes to the event in person to accept the donations. It is an excellent opportunity to hear about each of the organizations and learning more about the recipients that we help.
So next time your company is looking for ways to participate in Senior Citizens Day, choose a team building program that boosts team spirits while helping others. Show your support and appreciation for seniors in the community by participating in a CSR charitable event.
