An Evening with Purpose

LifePath’s 28th Annual Travers Soirée brought together friends, community leaders, supporters and partners on Friday, Aug. 28, at Saratoga National Golf Club for an unforgettable evening celebrating Saratoga and supporting LifePath’s mission.

Proudly presented by the Walter S. Borisenok Family Foundation, the Travers Soirée raised critical support for LifePath’s Meals on Wheels program and other services that help older adults remain independent, connected and supported in their communities.

Guests enjoyed an evening under the tent featuring cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, dinner, live music, silent and live auctions, the Glitzy Chance Raffle, Beverage Pull and a special Mission Moment highlighting the impact of LifePath’s work throughout the Capital Region.

A special thank you to Michael Brehm, who served as chair of the 28th Annual Travers Soirée, for his leadership, enthusiasm and dedication to making the evening a success.

The evening also welcomed special guests from the racing community, including trainers Dale Romans and Ray Handal and exercise rider Tammy Fox. Their participation brought even more Saratoga spirit to the celebration and made the evening especially memorable.

Most importantly, the Travers Soirée was an opportunity to celebrate the incredible community that makes LifePath’s work possible. We are grateful to everyone who attended, sponsored the event, served on the Honorary or Planning committees, donated an auction item, volunteered or supported the evening in any way.

Your generosity reaches far beyond one night in Saratoga. It helps deliver meals, provide companionship, support caregivers, connect families with resources and ensure older adults throughout our community have the support they need to live independently.
