Wesley Gives BIG is an opportunity for Wesley Community Foundation to enhance the lives of residents and employees. Your Foundation team works diligently all year to raise money for Wesley communities. Join us on Tuesday, May 6 for Wesley Gives BIG. We appreciate your partnership in making good things happen here.
Community
Choices. They’re a big factor in why people select retirement community living. The many possibilities to live life your way is one of the reasons Wesley communities are so loved. We offer a variety of residential sizes and floorplans in our Lodge and Brownstone apartment buildings.
For those who want a more “house-like” setting, Cottages and Village Homes may be your style. If you like the hustle and bustle of King County you may want to live at Wesley Des Moines or Lea Hill in Auburn. If Pierce County is more your style, we offer Wesley Bradley Park in Puyallup and our newest community, Wesley at Tehaleh in Bonney Lake.
Continuing Care
Are you planning to recover from elective surgery? Wesley Rehab and Care Centers provide convenient options for rest, recovery and therapy. Housing choices mean you can maintain your independence and receive additional services based on your needs.
Resident Engagement
Activities? No problem! Residents can choose music, fitness, movies, arts and crafts, field trips, concerts, drumming, quilting, writing, drama groups, pickleball, table tennis, Wesley U courses, group travel and more. There’s never a dull moment!
Wesley Gives BIG helps our communities have amenities such as grand pianos, raised garden beds, enhanced vision readers, large-print books, automatic door openers, fitness equipment, walking trails, buses – these make life better for Wesley residents. When you Give BIG you support active people, enriching programs and dynamic places for everyone.
Annual Giving Day
Our Annual Giving Day totals show how important Wesley Gives BIG has become. It began in 2013 and raised $14,870. Fast forward 11 years to 2024, and the total raised was $200,834!
Don’t forget this year, members from Wesley Community Foundation and Community Health Services Boards of Directors and the Wesley Trustees are boosting individual donations by 50 cents on the dollar from their Leadership Support Fund. Help us capture all the booster funds possible! If you have never given before, now is a great time to make a gift.
Early Giving has begun! Together, we can make our 2025 Annual Giving Day the best ever.
To donate in-person, visit one of our tables at Bradley Park, Des Moines, Lea Hill or Tehaleh on Tuesday, May 6. Pick up a sweet or savory treat, and chat with your friendly Foundation staff. We look forward to seeing you and setting a new record for Wesley Gives BIG!
We are grateful to all our donors for their support on this Annual Day of Giving!
