Special event scheduled for City Center

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. » The Wesley Foundation will host its second annual Saratoga Grandparents Day celebration from 1- 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 9 at Saratoga Springs City Center.

The free, public event will honor grandparents and greatgrandparents by providing an opportunity for family members of all ages to spend time together on National Grandparents Day. It includes carnival-style games, a silent auction, face painting, balloon art, a magician, and photo opportunities, a news release said.

The first 250 grandparents to enter will receive a special giveaway.

The foundation is the philanthropic arm of The Wesley Community.

“Our Saratoga Grandparents Day celebration is a terrific way for multiple generations to connect and recognize the role that grandparents play in their lives,” said Timothy Busch, event chairman. “We look forward to celebrating this national holiday by providing plenty of ways for grandparents and grandchildren to spend the day together while raising funds for The Wesley Community.”

Fees will apply for select activities and items for sale, with proceeds supporting renovation of the Resident Activities Room at Wesley Health Care Center. The residence caters to older adults who may have significant, chronic medical needs requiring daily assistance.

The Resident Activities Room serves as a social hub for these residents, providing a venue for performances, religious services and other social gatherings.
