Silver Key - 08/19/26 12:12 PM

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — August 19, 2026 — Silver Key received a $20,000 grant from The Primerica Foundation at a recent company meeting in Colorado Springs. 

 

Giving back is a longstanding part of Primerica’s commitment to the communities it serves and visits. Primerica continued that tradition by supporting a local nonprofit in the host community. Silver Key was selected as the charitable recipient in recognition of its work supporting older adults throughout the Pikes Peak region.

 

“We are incredibly grateful to Primerica for choosing to invest in older adults in our community,” said Jason DeaBueno, President and CEO of Silver Key. “Aging is a journey we all share, and every older adult deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, purpose and connection. This generous gift helps us continue creating a community where older adults are not only supported, but truly seen, valued and celebrated.”

 

“We are proud to support Silver Key and their enduring dedication to enriching the lives of older adults,” said Kathryn Kieser, Chair of The Primerica Foundation and Chief Reputation Officer of Primerica. “At Primerica, we believe thriving communities depend on the well-being of people at every stage of life. Silver Key exemplifies that commitment by empowering older adults to stay active, connected and engaged.”

 

For more than 50 years, Silver Key has helped older adults stay connected, independent and supported through every stage of the aging journey. Last year alone, that work reached more than 10,000 older adults, with Silver Key serving 132,500 meals, providing 37,500 rides, delivering 27,000 service encounters, and welcoming more than 3,000 visits to the activity center.

Colorado Springs School District 11 Food and Nutrition Services will provide lunch—and breakfast at schools that serve it—at no cost to all students during the 2026–27 school year. Participating schools will offer these meals through the Community Eligibility Provision of the National School Lunch Program, regardless of household income.

 

Well-nourished students are better prepared to learn and succeed. Families should still submit household income information when requested, as it helps District 11 secure important state and federal funding for meals, after-school activities and other student programs. Qualifying families may also receive Summer EBT benefits and discounts on school fees, class materials, bus passes, utilities and more.
