Since its founding in late 2021 (https://new.littlemastersclub.org/programs/PSP), members of the Performing for Seniors program have visited multiple senior homes across the Greater Seattle area, bringing performances to residents and enriching their lives through music and the arts. Our mission is to bring companionship and joy to seniors while raising public awareness of elderly care within our community.
In addition to offering emotional support, the Program expanded its mission in late 2023 to include fundraising activities to support quality services of non-profit healthcare centers and geriatric research, aiming to raise public awareness and funds to improve the quality of life for seniors. To advance this mission, we are organizing a fundraising concert on August 31, 2025, at 2:30 PM at the Kin On Community Center. All funds from this event will be donated to support a non-profit healthcare center - Kin On.
We warmly invite you to join us in this meaningful cause! Tickets are now on sale, and seating is limited—get yours soon! 🌹🌹🌹
