Raising Awareness to Stop Fall Injuries in Older Adults

The Facts: Every second of every day, an older adult (age 65+) suffers a fall in the U.S. That is 30 million older adults falling each year, making falls the leading cause of injury and injury death for older adults. (Source: CDC)

Mission

As a fall prevention advocate, Sackrin and Tolchinsky seeks to raise awareness to fall prevention programs offered by Area Agencies on Aging and Colleges and Universities throughout the Country.

To accomplish our mission, we want to:

  • Educate national organizations that are addressing fall prevention of the ease by which they can help promote local older adult fall prevention programs;
  • Encourage these national organizations to communicate about fall prevention programs offered by Area Agencies on Aging and Colleges and Universities;
  • Promote innovative approaches to raising awareness to local older adult fall prevention programs.

Sackrin & Tolchinsky’s goal is for these national organizations to use their existing digital marketing resources to bring about lasting awareness. We believe they can do so without increasing their marketing budgets. To this end, Sackrin and Tolchinsky has created annual giving grants, which are listed below.
