Thanks to your gifts now and throughout the year, your Tallahassee Senior Center is a very special place for active adults age 50+ to gather, to learn, and to make new friends. Participation in learning, exercising, creating, and playing sports and games brought social connection to more than 3,000 people at the TSC this past year and added quality to their lives.
We're encouraged that so many people care enough to make a difference to seniors. As we prepare for the coming year, we look forward to offering on-going and new programs. Your generous support makes our programs possible – because of you seniors are happier, healthier, learning, laughing, and connected to each other at our “cool and happening” Tallahassee Senior Center. When you make a gift, you help keep seniors healthy, active, and engaged.
