Saratoga Springs — The Wesley Foundation, the philanthropic arm of The Wesley Community in Saratoga Springs, will recognize local 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 Wednesday, Sept. 7 at 4 p.m.
Honorees will be recognized as a part of Wesley’s 6th Annual Saratoga Grandparents Day celebration on Sunday, Sept. 11. The event, in conjunction with National Grandparents’ Day, will highlight the honorees on the event website and social media.
In addition to the Greatest Grandparents Club, Wesley will honor all residents that reside within The Wesley Community with flowers, thanking them for being grandparents, but also their dedication and impact to the community. 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 generations that follow them.
Nominations are free to submit. Donations are being accepted online for The Wesley Foundation’s Nursing Scholarship Fund where all proceeds from the event will be directed.
