Q:
My mother was a long-term care resident at Syracuse Home and loved participating in the activities program. She recently passed away, and I would like to designate gifts in her memory to benefit the Activities Department. Should I ask for donations to go to McHarrie Life Foundation?
A:
Yes, our Foundation supports 100% of the activities department and its efforts to provide the most meaningful lifestyle choices for our residents. When you donate to McHarrie Life Foundation, your gift supports the wonderful activities offered to our residents every day—from iPad technology, to live entertainment, shopping trips, games, crafts, baking, woodworking projects, and educational programs. It is with much appreciation for generous donors like you that we provide opportunities to our residents that are special, interesting, and meaningful to them. As a charitable organization, we rely on the support of donors to sustain our remarkable level of care that has become our tradition since 1851. Each donation has a direct impact on our healthcare programs and services by enabling us to provide stateof-the-art care for every resident we are privileged to serve. —Kelly O’Neill-Rossi, Director of Development & Marketing McHarrie Life Foundation
