Friends of OASIS (Friends) has kept its dues low so everyone can participate. As a result, dues do not provide nearly enough funds for Friends to carry out its mission. Among the many other services we give to the community, we provide a shuttle services (one full-time and one part-time), within the Newport Beach area.
Please consider donating to this great cause.
Friends of OASIS raises money from several sources and uses that money to support and maintain senior activities, special events , classes, and transportation at OASIS Center.
The sources of income are:
- Membership Dues
- Spring and Fall special fundraising events– Rummage Sale and Spring Party
- Gift Shop Income
- Travel Department Income
- Pancake Breakfast Income
- Annual Fund Drive Donations
- Investments
