We are so excited to share our 35th Anniversary Celebration Gala with everyone, don’t miss it! Please SAVE THE DATE for September 23rd, 2023! Buy a Gala ticket or table to attend the Gala and invite friends and family or give to 1 or more clients to attend.

We look forward to this event each year to highlight the work of our wonderful volunteers, staff, and community network in supporting older adults and their caregivers. This is a special year, as we are celebrating 35 years of service and seeking support to expand and support new programs and to ensure we can continue serving the community for another 35 years to come, and beyond! We will also be taking a look back, through stories and pictures, at Elder Network over the years.

We will share updates about the services that Elder Network has been offering for Dodge, Olmsted, Wabasha, and Winona County seniors and caregivers, over the past year and highlight emerging needs. We will provide lots of fun with the Rochester Pops Orchestra, Sister and Company band and opportunities to bid on items through silent and live auctions.

Matching Funds from Mayo Clinic!

Mayo Clinic has donated funds to provide a matching grant to Elder Network, and with your help, we can meet our goal of $2,000-the matching grant amount!

We will be able to match $5 for every $1 raised because of Mayo Clinic’s generosity. We need your involvement to reach this goal and stretch our funding to make the most of limited resources! Stay tuned on more details regarding the Gala in 2023. Thank you for your continued support!

Purchasing Tickets

Please check back for updates as the 2023 35th Anniversary Gala gets closer. We will begin ticket sales on June 1st, 2023, and you will be able to purchase online, in-person in our office, through the mail, as well as over the phone.

The 35th Anniversary Gala is our main fundraiser for the year and is an important source of funding to allow us to maintain free and low-cost services. In 2023 we have seen rising costs and some grant funders unable to support us at the same levels as in the past, because of these challenges our fundraiser is more important than ever. Please consider the impact of Elder Network, and how you can help us to achieve our goal.

We cannot wait to share with you all that we have been up to and we greatly appreciate your continued support!
