2024 UniversalCare Strides for Seniors

Join us on Saturday, September 28th, 2024 for the 2024 UniversalCare Strides for Seniors event to support our seniors and promote health and happiness at every stage in life. The family-friendly event features a 5km and 2.5km route throughout North Maple Regional Park and offers a fun-filled day that will be much more than just a run in the park.

Fundraising Goal

In 2023, we achieved a remarkable milestone, securing over $1 million through the generosity of our legacy donors and the 2023 UniversalCare Strides for Seniors. Currently, we stand at one-third of our fundraising goal. This year, our 2024 Strides for Seniors fundraising goal is $200k, which will go toward our $3 million campaign goal that will fund the purchase, renovation and maintenance of a home that will be converted into an accessible Residential Respite Dementia Care Centre.

Charity Partner

We are thrilled to announce that we have chosen CHATS Community and Home Assistance to Seniors as our official charity partner. CHATS is a not-for-profit organization, advocating for and delivering high-quality, person-centred home and community services to older adults and caregivers living in York Region and South Simcoe.

Residential Respite Dementia Care Centre

Through this initiative, this unique residential setting will offer individuals living with dementia and other related diseases the opportunity to be cared for a short period of time. This home and its staff will help provide vital support, companionship, and resources to enhance the lives of seniors and their families in our community.
