"Federal funding for Older Americans Act services to seniors in Riverside County and across the country is shrinking," Sanchez wrote in a news release. "We can no longer rely on federal funds to shore up the safety net for vulnerable seniors, nor can we rely solely on public funding for these vital services. At the same time, an increasing number of seniors need help with nutrition, transportation and health services, and that is why the Foundation is working to strengthen, expand and support senior programs in Riverside County and looks to the Golf Tournament to raise awareness of issues facing seniors as well as to raise needed funding to provide for necessary support for seniors in greatest need."

The Foundation is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) and is completely funded through local donations.
