Friends of the Center, a 501(c)3 organization, is the fundraising arm of the Lowcountry Senior Center. Donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law and go to support program and capital projects of the Center.
Annual Giving Campaign
The Lowcountry Senior Center’s membership fees cover only twenty percent of the center’s operating costs. The Friends of the Lowcountry Senior Center inaugurated the Annual Giving Campaign (AGC) to help meet this funding gap and keep the cost of memberships low. For those giving at the $1000 level or higher, there’s an added bonus! In addition to becoming a Friend, you will also become a member of the prestigious Roper Xavier Society through Roper St. Francis Foundation. To join this elite society, payment must be made payable to Roper St. Francis Foundation and write “for Lowcountry Senior Center” on the check.
As a member of the Roper Xavier Society, you will receive an invitation to the 2009 Roper Xavier Society Annual Donor recognition Gala. This world-class affair, open only to Society members, features prominent, nationally recognized speakers, such as Tom Brokaw (2008 Donor Gala), Bob Woodruff (2007 Donor Gala) and Colin Powell (2006 Donor Gala). This valuable benefit is in addition to the benefits of becoming a Friend.
