PBC depends on the kindness of others in
assisting our residents to lead the best quality of life possible.
There are several ways for you, your corporation or foundation
to make a difference in a senior’s life…Contact
the vice president of mission support for details.
You Can Help by Donating through:
Annual Giving: Include gifts to enhance
the overall operations of our community. It may go to pay the
utility bills or overtime salary for nurses, or to the cost
of a new wheelchair van. In short, unrestricted donations go
where the organization deems it is needed the most.
Unrestricted Giving: You
may give to enhance the overall operations of our community.
Your gifts will be used to help us provide the highest quality
of life possible for those we serve. Your unrestricted gift
allows us to use the funds where they are most needed.
Restricted Giving: You may
restrict your gift to a specific program, fund or capital item.
Choices might include a gift to the endowment fund, dollars
to help purchase a new wheelchair van, or even to buy new table
linens for the dining room. Our Mission
Support Department can help you identify specific needs.
Benevolent Fund: Contributions
help to provide care for our residents whose financial resources
have been depleted. Gifts give seniors the security of knowing
that they have a home for life regardless of their financial
situation.
Planned Giving: Giving through
this program can help you meet your own financial obligations
while helping Peter Becker, too. Some examples of planned gifts
include charitable annuities, wills and bequests, lead trusts,
life insurance, stocks and securities. Check with your financial
advisor as to what benefits you can gain by providing PBC with
this type of gift.
Matching Gifts: Please check
with your employer for many organizations offer to double or
even triple your personal gift. Some employers offer this benefit
to retirees, too.
Other ways to give:
Gifts-in-Kind are donations
of goods or services based on the needs of the PBC community.
Please check with the Mission
Support Department on our gift acceptance policy.
SPECIAL EVENTS: Join
in at any of our special events and you'll be helping the community
thrive.
The Annual Flower Show: The
highlight of our special events calendar is our flower show
held every year in mid March.. Colleen
Hart, Director of Community Relations, creatively directs
a group of hard-working and artsy residents known as "The
Flower Show Gang" to paint sets and create floral displays
that you would have to go to the big city to see the likes of.
Creativity is at work at this event that is open to the public.
This event connects PBC with the greater community
through its incredible displays, and friendly competitions including;
a senior art show, a coloring contest, an inter-home floral
competition, and its traditional resident plant submissions.
The three day event also features a bake sale, crafters, vendor
displays, entertainment and community tours. A small donation
is usually requested at the door.
The Annual Benevolent Fund Dinner,
held each May, asks for donations toward providing care for
those who can no longer to afford to pay for it themselves.
The Annual Golf Outing is
held the on the first Monday in October. A day of fellowship
and golf combines to generate funds toward our more capital
needs in the community.
