Dr. Charles Sprague was the driving force behind the establishment of The Sage Society. He served as its first chairman, and he continued to guide its development until the time of his death in 2005.
The two major goals of the major donor giving society are:
In these days of shrinking support and public funds, community becomes vital in meeting the increasing needs of older adults and their families. With the Sage Society, we hope to highlight the urgency of giving older Americans a higher place on the agenda of community concerns and create a brighter future for all generations.
