Supporting Vital Programs
An important piece of this show is fundraising for vital senior programs in the community. When you donate or buy tickets, your dollars continue to help seniors. Some organizations who have benefited from SVS proceeds are:
-
Heartland Senior Services of Story County
-
Story County Freedom Flight
-
Retired Senior and Volunteer Transportation Program of Central Iowa
The volunteer staff and performers who make up the Senior Variety Show are very grateful to businesses, organizations and individuals in Ames, Story County and surrounding communities for your support of the Senior Variety Show. We could not continue without it.
