Twilightwish.org 2014 Annual Report

Message from the Founder Dear Friends of the Elderly, Because of our generous and compassionate donors, sponsors, staff and volunteers, Twilight Wish truly is able to continue making our world a nicer place to age, one wish at a time! As of June 30, 2015, we have granted 2,308 wishes to low-income seniors across the U.S. As the first national wish granting organization focused on the needs of the elderly, we are proud to say that we have been at the forefront of changing the culture of aging in our society for 12 years. Once again, we granted some pretty amazing wishes. We sent three World War II veterans back to Normandy; Josephine, a huge animal lover, had her wish to meet Jack Hanna and tour the Columbus Zoo granted; and we sent Mae, an original Rosie the Riveter, to the annual American Rosie the Riveter Association’s (ARRA) reunion in California. We also granted some very simple, poignant wishes like Virginia, who wished to see her family’s gravesite one more time before she passed and Ronald, who wished to attend Christmas Day services with his wife. Wishes, whether big or small, illustrate the need for Twilight Wish as we continue to bring compassion and comfort into the lives of seniors that need it the most. One of the biggest highlights of our year was being chosen by the Pennsylvania chapter of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) as their state project for school year 2014-2015. The PA FBLA is comprised of 281 high schools in Pennsylvania. It was our honor to be able to interact with so many of these bright, motivated students throughout the year. We celebrate with them at their annual leadership conference in Hershey, PA in April 2015 where Twilight Wish and our wish recipient for the Rosie the Riveters reunion, Mae Krier, 90, received a standing ovation from the 5,000 attendees. These incredible students spent the school year learning about aging and intergenerational issues and fundraised for our “Greatest Generation” over $44,000! Twilight Wish ended our fiscal year in our best position every in our history. As always, we are so grateful to you, our supporters and donors, many of whom have been supporting Twilight Wish and our mission since the beginning. This support ensures that Twilight Wish can continue our mission and vision of making our world a nicer place to age, one wish at a time. We look forward to focusing on training and educating our chapters and thousands of grass root volunteers in the next year and growing from 18 chapters to one in every major city in the next decade. Best wishes,

Cass Forkin Founder & Chairman of the Board

About Twilight Wish Foundation

Mission and Vision The mission of Twilight Wish is to honor and enrich the lives of deserving seniors through wish granting celebrations that connect generations. Our vision is to make the world a nicer place to age, one wish at a time. Through our good works, Twilight Wish is changing the culture of aging in the U.S.

History Twilight Wish Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, was founded by Cass Forkin on July 1, 2003, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania after a life-changing encounter with several elderly women in a diner. As the women were counting out change to pay for their meal, it became clear to Forkin that they could barely afford even a simple buffet lunch in a diner, so she anonymously paid their bill. They insisted on knowing who treated them and said, “We didn’t know there were still people like you out there. We thought you had forgotten us.” Those comments and the women’s gratefulness for Forkin’s simple gesture led to the realization of the genuine need for a national organization that addressed not only simple and basic needs, but also the higher-level needs for an elder’s wish of a lifetime. Twilight Wish granted its very first wish on January 16, 2004, to Margaret Turner, an 81-year-old nursing facility resident. Margaret requested a tombstone for her deceased son who was buried in an unmarked grave. As of June 30, 2015, Twilight Wish had granted over 2,308 individual wishes to deserving elderly throughout the U.S. This equates to more than one wish granted every other day since our founding in 2003.

Our Programs

Wish Granting Program Twilight Wish celebrates seniors and makes dreams come true by granting wishes for recipients over age 68 who do not have the ability to grant their own wishes or are permanent members of a long-term care facility. Wish granting provides a meaningful “thank you” for a lifetime of service to others. Sometimes the wish fulfills an immediate need. Sometimes it fulfills a last wish or a wish of a lifetime. Big or small, all wishes are significant to the recipient as they validate what the senior has specifically done for others over the years.

Intergenerational Education Program Imagine an intergenerational exchange of knowledge, wisdom and understanding. This is exactly what we set out to accomplish with our Intergenerational Education Program which directly matches local school students with nearby nursing center residents. Students get directly involved with the entire wish-granting process. They learn all about senior citizens and their wishes, raise funds, and grant wishes at a celebratory event. As a result, seniors are validated and respected, and feel an increased sense of dignity and self-esteem. Students gain a respectful understanding of aging and develop compassion and patience in normal day-to-day experiences with seniors. They also learn the value of volunteerism and philanthropy.

Project Wishing Well Project Wishing Well enables students to fundraise by distributing our “wishing well” collection boxes throughout their schools and local communities. Project Wishing Well is just one way we build awareness through multigenerational education and hands-on experiences. This program directly benefits seniors, students and their local communities.

DUTY Program We feel it is our responsibility to honor and respect our elders in their twilight years. That’s why we created our DUTY program. This program is designed to spontaneously thank seniors for all they have done for others by treating them to a meal. How it works: Print out a DUTY card from our website or contact us for preprinted cards. When you dine out and see a senior you would like to treat, simply pay the bill and hand the DUTY card to the server. In turn, the server presents the card to the recipient as a thank you for everything the senior has done for others over the years.

Circle of Angels Legacy Society Our Circle of Angels Legacy Society allows donors to leave behind a legacy that makes a lasting difference for generations to come and directly benefit those in their twilight years. By designating a percentage of their estate, donors bring hope and joy to economically-disadvantaged seniors through our various programs.

Veterans Program At Twilight Wish, we feel it is our privilege and duty to help fulfill the wishes of our elderly American veterans. Since our founding in 2003, we have honored more than 730 veterans. In fact, one-third of all the wishes we grant are for veterans. Sometimes a wish fulfills an immediate need. Sometimes it is a last wish or a lifelong dream. Large or small, all wishes provide a meaningful “thank you” to our veterans for their dedication and selfless service to our country.

Wish Stories

We did it! In June of 2015, thanks to a generous donor, we were able to send Mae Krier, one of the original Rosie the Riveters to the annual American Rosie the Riveter Association’s reunion in California. Mae, now 90, worked on B-17s and B-29s for Boeing in Seattle at the young age of 17. One of her proudest memories is helping to build the 5 Grand, the 5,000th B-17 made by Boeing. After having her wish granted, Mae has become a much-sought after speaker, telling her wartime stories to high school students, veteran organizations and other organizations. She is working with her local congressman to help pass legislation that will designate a national Rosie the Riveter Day. Mae doesn’t want the story of what the Rosies did to be forgotten.

Pat is back in the saddle again! Pat Glasser and her husband owned horses for many years until health problems forced them to give them up. Her husband passed away in 2012 and Pat now lives in an assisted living facility. Yet, she still wished for one more horseback ride. Our Westmoreland County chapter granted Pat’s wish, arranging for her to ride beautiful Gunner, a 15 year old gentle gelding. After being helped in the saddle, Pat rode Gunner around the arena several times. After her ride, Pat said about her wish “That was great, I feel younger.”

Sometimes the wishes we grant are so simple like Hank’s wish to return with his wife to their hometown one more time. Hank, 80, and his wife, Loretta, lived in Kimmswick, Missouri for over 14 years. Hank was Chief of Police and an Alderman for Kimmswick and ran the Jefferson Barracks Historic Park museum for ten years. Hank wished to drive past some of their favorite places including their family home and their favorite restaurant, The Dough Depot, where they enjoyed lunch one more time. His wish was granted by our Missouri chapter and made possible with generous donors.

Twilight Wish Categories

The mission of Twilight Wish Foundation is to honor and enrich the lives of deserving seniors through wish granting celebrations that connect generations. Our vision is to make the world a nicer place to age, one wish at a time. Since our founding in 2003, we have granted the lifelong wishes of over 2,308 deserving senior citizens throughout the United States. Twilight Wish grants wishes to seniors, 68 and older, earning less than 200% of poverty level, or who are a permanent resident of a nursing facility.

Simple Needs wishes are for basic quality-of-life necessities such as healthcare and accessibility items including

hearing aids, dentures, mattresses, appliances, wheelchairs, and walkers.

Living Life to the Fullest wishes are often the fulfillment of a lifelong dream such as publishing a book, riding in a

hot air balloon, or meeting Merle Haggard.

Celebrating a Life wishes are meaningful and nostalgic wishes for recipients with limited life expectancies. Many

of these wishes are for family reunions, visits to hometowns, and to return to a job or career one more time.

Veterans’ wishes make up one-third of all Twilight Wishes granted. Veterans’ wishes can fall into any of the

other three programs, but we differentiate this program as it gives us all an opportunity to thank veterans, many

in nursing facilities, for what they have specifically done for others over the years and acknowledge that we

remember and care.
