🌍Join us in celebrating the 2025 United Nations International Day of Older Persons! This year’s theme reminds us that #olderadults are not passive recipients of care, but drivers of progress—sharing wisdom, building resilience, and strengthening communities.

At LBFE Boston, we see this every day in our programs, where older Bostonians inspire us with their creativity, leadership, and life experience.

❤️ We did it—together! ❤️Thanks to you, our incredible LBFE Boston community, we raised $25,000 for our 3rd Annual Giving Day!

Because of your generosity, #olderadults like Frank continue to find joy, connection, and purpose through our #intergenerational programs. As Frank, age 71, shared:

“I just want to thank Little Brothers and student participants for being who they are and interacting with older people. It keeps the mind and body going and people can live longer.”

Your support makes this possible. Every gift fuels friendships, combats loneliness, and builds bridges across generations. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. ❤️

- Marion
"It’s beneficial, especially to that type of person that might not come out on their own to socialize. I might have been one of those people myself."
