Been awhile since any of us have had problems, eh?
:-)
I love Schwab, and appreciate the years of help in attaining retirement goals. Given that we know that they monitored this thread in the past, here's another retirement goal that they can help with......
Dear Senior Athlete,
The California Senior Games Board of Directors is looking forward to an exciting year of great competition, good health and lots of fun.2014 will be a banner year, with two California-based opportunities to qualify for the 2015 National Games in Minneapolis.
The multiple benefits of increased activity is one thing everyone agrees on in the current national conversation on around health care: staying active supports our physical, mental and emotional health. The Senior Games champion this effort and makes it all fun through sports.
Our biggest challenge remains securing sponsorships in order to control the costs for competing athletes and we need your help.
Finding sponsors is challenging because finding the right person to connect with on a personal level is both difficult and time-consuming. This is where we hope you can assist.
Please think about your network of people who work for companies where supporting a healthy and wealthy aging population would benefit both their bottom line and their community engagement. These potential sponsors include companies that conduct business within the following industries: financial, medical, insurance, technology, automotive, travel/leisure, and food/beverage.
You may also be involved, or know those who are, with foundations where healthy aging is among the causes they support.
If you have contacts in these organizations who may be interested in supporting our mission, I am asking you to make an introduction to me and I will take it from there.
Below are a few things to consider about the impact of our demographic and why getting involved would make sense for the right organization:
- There are 10,000 of us turning 50 EVERYDAY!
- We are 100 million strong and we control 77% of the financial assets in this great country of ours.
- We are a powerful group of people that outspends other generations in nearly EVERY consumer category totaling over one TRILLION dollars annually.
- We spend over $7 Billion dollars in on-line purchases, an impressive 2 1/2 times more than the amount teens spend.
The California Senior Games competitions are at the forefront of creating a new model for what it means to be a senior in America. We all have networks built from a lifetime of relationships that include people who believe in the importance of our mission. Please consider supporting the Senior Games by making an introduction that can lead to making competitions available to more Californians.
With awe and gratitude,
