About this Event
To celebrate our 100th anniversary and to celebrate you—the incredible communities we’ve partnered with over the past 100 years—we’re thrilled to invite you to a panel discussion in Queens about supporting people with disabilities and older New Yorkers.
NYC, Long Island, and Westchester are home to more than 2.5 million people ages 65 and older, and more than 1.5 million people living with a disability.
At its best, our region can be a great place to grow old, boasting accessible services and inclusive opportunities for all New Yorkers. Trust grantees are working to meet this vision through advocacy campaigns, community outreach, equitable housing programs, and much more.
Join us for a conversation with nonprofit and government leaders to explore how we can make our region more accessible.
A festive reception will follow, with food, drinks, and the opportunity to share your vision for our region’s next century.
