Cheers for Years is a collaborative fundraising and community outreach event partnered between the Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging and eighteen eldercare community service agencies from throughout the region. Over two years in its development, Cheers for Years has been hailed as innovative in its collaborative efforts to increase community awareness of the senior service network, as well as generate additional resources to fund eldercare services. The celebration of six independent events throughout eight counties presents a unique concept.
Cheers combines the local flavor and needs of each area with a customized event.
Proceeds generated from Cheers for Years will go directly back to local community-based services for eldercare. The upcoming Cheers for Years day features activities as diverse as their locations. This gala event combines a multi-course meal, prepared and served by the chefs themselves. Tickets held at the door. RSVP by October 23, 1998.
