We are offering you a special opportunity to enrich the lives of the fast-growing over-50 population in your communities, many of whom are your customers. Fast-growing is putting it mildly. The Silver Tsunami is upon us. The number of people over 65 is expected to almost double in 20 years, jumping from 12 percent of the U.S. population to 20 percent by 2030. Medical experts tell us that learning new things is the best way for older adults to maintain healthy mental function. But that’s not why 700 seniors took KU Osher Lifelong Learning courses last fall. They did it for the simple joy of learning.
The KU Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is one of the amenities that add to the quality of life in your community. Your gift helps ensure that quality of life.
Below is a secure link to KU Endowment where you can donate to Friends of Osher online, or you may download a form to mail with your contribution. Please choose the level at which you are able to contribute.

With your permission, we will list your company name and level of support in our catalog and on the Osher Web site. Sponsor-level contributions enable you to display your company name or logo with the course of your choosing in catalogs, ads, signage, and on the Web site. A trustee-level contributor may sponsor multiple classes over the span of a year.
In addition, all donors will receive an invitation to attend a private "thank you" reception.
We have forged partnerships with other business entities in the community, for which we are very grateful—you will see their logos on this Web site. We invite you to join their ranks.
