Senior Community Dances

Come on out to SPARK Senior Center of Harleysville once a month for an evening full of dancing and socializing, open to ages 50+. These dances have raised over $14,000 for our organization, and more than that, they’ve brought joy and community to Seniors from all around through the love of dancing!

Family Events and Fundraisers Organized by “Care to Love”

“Care to Love,” is a non-profit organization started by a local young man named Jadon who began volunteering at our Senior Centers at the age of 8! This organization is focused on encouraging children to visit and interact with residents of senior care facilities. The goal is to bring joy to seniors through simple yet meaningful interactions that brighten their days, such as conversations performances, or games. By fostering these intergenerational connections, Care to Love seeks to combat isolation in senior communities, while also teaching younger generations the value of empathy, respect, and community service. This initiative promotes lasting bonds across generations, creating joyful moments that positively impact seniors’ emotional well-being.

Through outreach to local businesses, and the support of his faith community, Jadon led an extremely successful raffle basket fundraiser as a part of the Holiday Bazaar at SPARK of Harleysville. He also organized a wonderful family “Carnival Games” event as a part of his fundraising efforts this year.

Local & On Tap Business Networking for a Cause

As a part of The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Montgomery County, Local & On Tap is a monthly social and networking event for local professionals to come share idea, meet new people and grow their professional network while supporting a Chamber member nonprofit.

We were honored to be nominated by our Board Member, Shelby Leight, to be the featured Charity for the April 2025 Local & On Tap Meeting. It was a great opportunity to network with other Chamber Members, whose generosity towards our organization blew us away.

Brittany Pointe Estates Residents’ Association Donations

Residents of local retirement community, Brittany Pointe, have graciously made donations of funds, as well as donations of their time and talent to SPARK Senior Centers over the years. They have chosen to give back within the community, donating funds from their Resident’s Association Annual Bazaar to SPARK Senior Center of Lansdale. In addition, a wonderful group from their community, “The Brittany Pointe Panhandlers,” periodically shares their beautiful musical talents with us as special entertainment. We are so grateful for their support and partnership.
