Colorado Springs, CO (OPENPRESS) December 25, 2008 -- Silver Planet, silverplanet.com, a content- and resource-rich website designed to inform, inspire, and interact with the 55+ generation as they embrace positive aging, has been awarded a $10,000 matching grant from Rose Community Foundation as part of its Boomers Leading Change initiative. Through the grant, Silver Planet will leverage its online expertise in supporting the foundation's initiative to expand opportunities for those 55+ in work, service, and learning and thereby strengthening and supporting their communities.

Silver Planet will apply these funds to implement its Silver Ambassador outreach program in three Colorado counties. The Silver Ambassadors are community-based volunteers coordinating needed resources to their communities by assessing senior needs and linking their community members to resources provided both on and off line.
