Our Annual Spring Gala is our largest fundraiser of the year and is held at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.   This year we will be honoring Congressman Brad Sherman with the “Enriching Communities Award”, Health Net with the “Enriching Lives Award” and Community Leader Paul Davis with the “Trailblazer Award”.   A silent auction will be held during the cocktail portion of the evening and a live auction during the program.  All auction donors will be recognized in event media as well as a special Gala newsletter which will go out to over 4,000 of our supporters.

ONEgeneration was established in 1978 and has operations at two sites. One site is home to the agency’s Senior Enrichment Center, the other site is home to both the Adult Day Care Center and the Child Care Center. The dual housing of the Adult Day Care Center and Child Care Center provide a unique concept of daily intergenerational interaction between older adults and children.  All of ONEgeneration’s programs strive to positively impact the needs affecting older adults, families and communities in order to meaningfully improve their quality of life and health.
