Corporate Philanthropy

Senior Star is committed to making a positive impact on the communities where our residents reside and on the entire Aging Services industry. Our team remains committed to causes that affect seniors around the globe.

We champion this concept with every corporate philanthropy opportunity. As a nationally recognized leader in the industry, we are proud to be a source of guidance for thousands of families every year. That’s why we continually research emerging issues as well as trends in senior living and then put what we learn into action through our corporate philanthropy efforts in these areas:

Our founders, identical twins Bob and Bill Thomas, have served in leadership roles as past chairs for the Tulsa Area United Way Board of Directors, LIFE Senior Services Capital/Endowment Campaign and the Tulsa Area United Way Community Campaign — where their leadership contributed to achieving the largest United Way campaign in Tulsa’s history.

On a national level, our founders championed a three-year plan outlining a new fundraising approach for the American Seniors Housing Association (ASHA). Bill’s leadership as chairman drastically changed how the organization approached their role of supporting senior issues. In three years, the annual fundraising for the ASHA political action committee grew by over 1,000 percent.

Our co-founder and other team members travel and advocate to champion a “World without Alzheimer’s” among legislators and groups instrumental in providing support for this cause. The National Alzheimer’s Association honored the leadership of Bob Thomas in this area by presenting him with the Maureen Reagan Outstanding Advocate Award — an award given to only one recipient annually for Alzheimer’s advocacy.

Senior Star commits our support to these three organizations, but our support doesn’t stop here. If there is a non-profit organization our associates are actively engaged with, we want to help them achieve success as leaders in giving back.

The American Seniors Housing Association brings the voice of seniors to Capitol Hill. Salaried Senior Star associates can make an annual contribution to ASHA’s PAC to help influence key legislation that impacts how care and services are delivered in the senior living industry.

Senior Star associates make up the 4th highest fundraising team in the nation. When we ask our friends & family to make a donation, we are providing hope as we continue to pursue our nation’s goal – to prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias by 2025.

Senior Star associates have the opportunity to give to the United Way each year (or to another organization that each community supports) to advance the common good in the areas of education, income, and health in each local community.
