The 21st annual People Plus Music in April fundraiser raised over $75,000 for the People Plus Senior Center! The online Music in April silent auction broke several records including 390 auction items; 396 bidders; and $26,000 in sponsorship. Over the years, Music in April has become a signature event in our community and this year’s event brought the fundraising proceeds to a 21-year total of over $675,000!
Music in April is THE signature fundraiser for People Plus. It enables us to serve over 1300 People Plus members who represent an ever-increasing population of retirees and elders on the Mid Coast. This non-profit could NOT do it without the income from Music in April – which has become a signature event in our community. These last several years have demonstrated exactly how vital People Plus is to the lives of the older adult populations. In addition to hundreds of classes, clubs and meals held safely at the Center, we made over two thousand deliveries of groceries, food pantry boxes, meals and prescriptions – and provided over 32,000 miles of transportation – just last year, keeping seniors safe!
People Plus serves the greater Brunswick community by offering a variety of activities to support engaged, healthy and independent lives for older adults, as well as hosting the Teen Center where young people can meet safely to explore creative outlets, eat a healthy meal, and develop into well-rounded adults. People Plus also provides outreach and transportation services, and offers many volunteer opportunities.
