Bayview Manor Foundation Newsletter

March 2025

The Foundation raises funds to support those residents of Bayview who, through no fault of their own, are without financial resources to continue to live at Bayview.

Spring Greetings!

One team. One community.

A mountain of support.

Hello, we're so excited to launch the first Bayview Manor Foundation newsletter!

Spring is the season of renewal and growth, a time when nature reminds us of the incredible potential for positive change. At the Foundation, we see this potential for change blossoming every day in the lives we touch within our community.

For nearly 40 years, we have been providing support through subsidy payments to allow over 35 residents to remain living at Bayview. This Spring, we need your help to continue working towards our Mission.

We look forward to sharing more stories and successes with you.

Warmly,

Diann Barry, Foundation President

Our Annual Spring Appeal has started!

The Foundation's Spring Appeal launched on Saturday, March 1st. This is one of our largest fundraisers of the year. We’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal for 2025 to ensure that our investments can continue to grow while providing full support to residents in need. The need for financial support is unprecedented, yet we remain steadfast in fulfilling our Mission.

In 2024, we spent over $528,000 on subsidy and we do not anticipate these numbers dropping anytime soon. We could not have provided these funds without your support, and we know we can count on you to help us achieve our goal this year.

Your support today can help us meet our Spring Appeal goal of $100,000, putting us well on our way to our annual fundraising goal. Please donate today to support our residents at Bayview. Together, we can watch Bayview Manor Foundation blossom!

Richard Tomlinson Fund for Continued Career Development

We're thrilled to share the launch of the Richard Tomlinson Fund for Continued Career Development for Bayview staff! Richard Tomlinson started at Bayview in 1996 as our Human Resources Director and became CEO from 2005 to 2012. As CEO, Rich had a deep passion for empowering and investing in people. When he retired the Leadership Team surprised Rich by contributing funds to initiate this program. We're excited to carry on Rich's love for staff by investing and shaping future leaders in senior living.

When donating, please indicate "Tomlinson Fund" in the notes section.
