Elderwerks Sponsorship Opportunities

services continue to grow, please join us and become an advertiser, sponsor,
or supporter for the following programs:
Advertisers can purchase space in our comprehensive 350+ page guide
distributed biannually to 10,000 local senior care professionals, hospitals,
social service agencies, and families. The Directory is viewed over 110,000 times per

In-network senior communities and home care agencies, along with advertisers in the Elderwerks Senior Resource Directory, receive a complimentary listing on the Elderwerks official website,
which averages between 12,000 and 16,000 views every month.
Annual Aging Better Expo
The Annual Aging Better Expo is held the second Wednesday in August, annually at Concorde Banquets, located at 20922 N. Rand Rd., Kildeer. The 2026 Expo was a great success, with more than 450 attendees. Sponsors educate the attendees on local products, services, and benefits at their individual tables; however, no items may be sold on-site. Elderwerks holds aging seminars throughout the day. Adult children, caregivers, older adults, and seniors enjoy this informative event, connect with sponsors, and everyone is treated to morning pastries and lunch (for the first 200 attendees) along with fun prizes. Stay tuned for more information.
Event Advertising
Elderwerks in-network senior communities, home care agencies, and supportive businesses may have their own events showcased within the Elderwerks Community Events and Education section of the website.

Make a Senior Smile (MASS) and Stitching for Seniors
MASS - Elderwerks collects
letters, art, poems, and cards to deliver to isolated and lonely seniors. We
deliver these well received notes throughout the year.
The Stitching for Seniors volunteers sew walker bags and other items using donated materials. Volunteer for the Stitching for Seniors program dedicated to supporting seniors through handmade creations such as walker/wheelchair bags, lap blankets, and other essential items. Generous volunteers donate fabric and ribbons, while others assemble kits available at the Elderwerks Center. These handmade items are offered to seniors in need for a small donation. The collected donations are used to provide vital services to income-challenged seniors, ensuring they receive the support they deserve.
