SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Wesley Foundation, the philanthropic arm of The Wesley Community in Saratoga Springs, will recognize the area’s most senior family members by welcoming a new class of honorees to the Greatest Grandparents Club.
Families are welcome to nominate their grandparent or great-grandparent for recognition at SaratogaGrandparentsDay.com. Nominations should describe why their grandparent is the greatest in 200 words or less and include a photo to be displayed on the event website. The nomination deadline is 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 7.
All honorees will be recognized on SaratogaGrandparentsDay.com as a part of Wesley’s Sixth Annual Saratoga Grandparents Day celebration on Sunday, Sept. 11. The event, which celebrates the importance of family in conjunction with National Grandparents’ Day, will highlight the honorees on the event website and social media, commemorating this award.
In addition to the Greatest Grandparents Club, Wesley will honor all residents that reside within The Wesley Community with flowers, thanking them for their commitment not only to being grandparents and great-grandparents to their loved ones, but also their dedication and impact to the community at large. Many of the residents at The Wesley Community are veterans, teachers, nurses, police officers, spiritual leaders and homemakers and, as role models, have significant influence on the many generations that follow them.
Nominations are free-of-charge to submit. Donations are being accepted online for The Wesley Foundation’s Nursing Scholarship Fund where all proceeds from the event will be directed. The Nursing Scholarship Fund helps Wesley employees pursue or continue their nursing education at an accredited school.
