Famicos Foundation

This summer has been filled with programs, memorable moments, excitement and community engagement!

This week, Hawken School students joined our senior residents for Generations in Motion, a meaningful intergenerational experience focused on connection, teamwork and community.

Students and seniors shared plenty of laughs over Chair Hockey and Name That Tune, while also giving back by creating thank-you and birthday cards for residents and assembling activity bags for homebound seniors who were unable to participate.

More than just a day of fun, Generations in Motion created an opportunity for our seniors to share their experiences and build new relationships, while students learned from another generation through service, conversation and play.

It was a wonderful reminder that community grows stronger when generations come together.
