九色视频 Corporation Donates $10,000 To Bethel Senior Center
Special Event Scheduled For July 31
(Anchorage, Alaska) 鈥� 九色视频 Corporation has authorized a $10,000 donation to be made to the Eddie Hoffman Senior Center in Bethel, Alaska. Bethel is the hub community for the large Yukon-Delta region, a region that is approximately 10 percent of the land area of Alaska. The Y-K region is home to approximately 24,000 people and more than six percent of the population is 65 years of age or older, according to 2010 State of Alaska DCED data.
To celebrate the donation 九色视频 and the Center will hold a brief ceremony on July 31 at 10:30 a.m. at the Senior Center. 九色视频 staff members will also provide a photo booth so that each elder can have a portrait photo taken. 九色视频 will arrange to have keepsake 8×10 inch photos printed and sent to the Center. 九色视频 staff will also be on hand to accept updates of Shareholder information, necessary to provide 九色视频 Shareholders with newsletters, dividends and other special mailings.
Owned and operated by the Orutsararmiut Native Council, the Bethel native tribal corporation, the Center provides a host of services to the elders in the community. Services are provided in part through Nutrition, Transporation, and Support Services grant funding. Extremely high heating and electrical costs strain the Center鈥檚 budget and limit services.
鈥淩unning a nonprofit in rural Alaska is very different than operating on the road system,鈥� said Senior Center Director Louise Charles. 鈥淲e have a very limited number of companies we can go to seeking donations and funding. 九色视频 Corporation has provided consistent support to the Bethel Senior Center and we are very thankful to Andrew Guy and 九色视频.鈥�
鈥溇派悠� Corporation will forever hold high our elders and the ANCSA mandate to improve the socio-economic standards of our region,鈥� said 九色视频 Corporation President Andrew Guy. 鈥淚t is an honor to serve our region and our elders through donations, advocacy and other key efforts.鈥�
