SCR Foundation August 2026
www.scrfoundation.org
Thank you to everyone who participated in our July 12 Bingo fundraiser. Whether you joined us as a player, volunteered your time, or supported us behind the scenes, your involvement makes a meaningful difference. Every Bingo event helps the Foundation continue its work on behalf of our community, and we are truly grateful.
Please mark your calendar for November 22, which will be our final Bingo fundraiser of 2026. We hope you will join us for another fun afternoon. Bingo is open to the public, so please feel free to invite your friends and family.
As August is National Wellness Month, it is a great time to focus on health. Research suggests that regular self-care and healthy habits can significantly improve happiness and reduce stress. Wellness does not require dramatic lifestyle changes; small, consistent choices can lead to lasting results.
Consider taking one simple step today, such as drinking more water, adding more fruits and vegetables to your meals, improving your sleep habits, or practicing meditation for a few minutes each day. You might also consider joining a yoga, walking, or aerobics class. True wellness goes beyond diet and exercise to nurture your mind, body, and spirit. For older adults especially, staying active, eating well, managing stress, and maintaining social connections are all linked to longer, healthier, and happier lives. This August, we encourage you to take the “I Choose Wellness Pledge” and commit to one healthy habit each day.
Finally, we want to highlight Board Member Dawn Haskin. Dawn moved to SCR from San Jose in June 2020. Once activities resumed, she joined the SCR Foundation, Needle Arts, and Bocce Clubs, and she joined the Ambassador Committee in 2024. For the Foundation, Dawn handles the distribution of the Resident Survivor Guide and the Alternative Living Considerations Guide, both of which are free for residents. She also does the Bingo calling for our events as well as represent the Foundation and the New Resident gatherings. As a Death Doula and Hospice volunteer, she recognizes the importance of end-of-life preparation. We appreciate her dedication and the time she shares to help others in SCR and the broader community.
