Explanation
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
OUR MISSION IS TO FOSTER WORLD PEACE, HEALTH AND FRIENDSHIP THROUGH SPORTS COMPETITION. TO MEET THIS GOAL, WE PRODUCE AN ANNUAL, INTERNATIONAL, TWO- WEEK SPORTING EVENT FOR ATHLETES OVER THE AGE OF 50 FOCUSED ON QUALITY COMPETITION FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS, HEALTH EDUCATION/SCREENINGS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIAL INTERACTION AND CAMARADERIE AMONG PARTICIPANTS.
FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6
WORLD SENIOR GAMES PRODUCES AN ANNUAL TWO-WEEK SPORTING EVENT THAT ATTRACTS 10,000 SENIOR ATHLETES EACH YEAR. THE EVENT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF OUR 2,000+ VOLUNTEERS. THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE INVOLVED IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE GAMES. THEY DIRECT OUR SPORTS, OVERSEE OUR SUPPORT COMMITTEES, MAN OUR REGISTRATION AND CHECK-IN TABLES, CUT UP THE FRUIT FOR OUR ATHLETES, PERFORM AT OUR OPENING CEREMONIES, ASSIST IN OUR HEALTH SCREENINGS, DIRECT TRAFFIC, COUNT LANES, ETC. ABOUT 250 OF THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE CONSIDERED "KEY" VOLUNTEERS. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRULY DEDICATED TO OUR MISSION AND WHO DONATE BETWEEN 200 AND 300 HOURS OF SERVICE TO OUR EVENT EACH YEAR. OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR CAUSE, THEY LOVE THE ATHLETES, THEY LOVE HELPING OTHERS AND THEY LOVE THE GAMES.
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
EVENT. ATHLETES ARE INVITED TO ATTEND A SPORT SOCIAL WHERE THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SOCIALIZE WITH OTHER ATHLETES OF THEIR SPORT, THE OPENING CEREMONIES AND PARADE OF ATHLETES, CONCERTS, AN INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL AND A WESTERN DINNER DANCE. AS A RESULT OF THESE EFFORTS TO PROMOTE CAMARADERIE, WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT WHILE ALMOST ALL OF OUR ATHLETES' FIRST TRIP TO THE GAMES WAS PROMPTED BY COMPETITION, BY THEIR THIRD YEAR, 44% OF OUR PARTICIPANTS LIST SOCIAL ASPECTS SUCH AS "MEETING NEW FRIENDS" AND "RENEWING ACQUAINTANCES" AS THEIR PRIMARY REASON FOR ATTENDING THE GAMES. THE AVERAGE RETURN RATE OF OUR PARTICIPANTS IS 75% THE GAMES HAVE BECOME MUCH MORE THAN A SPORTING EVENT - THEY ARE TRULY A CELEBRATION OF LIFE AFTER 50 TO HELP ATTAIN THE GOAL OF FOSTERING HEALTH, THE WORLD SENIOR GAMES PROVIDES A HEALTH SCREENING PROGRAM FOR OUR ATHLETES. WE OFFER FREE SCREENINGS FOR PSA, BLOOD PRESSURE, BLOOD SUGAR, BODY COMPOSITION, RESTING HEART RATE, BALANCE AND EQUILIBRIUM, HEARING, CHOLESTEROL, VISUAL ACUITY, GLAUCOMA AND CAROTID ARTERY. ATHLETES ARE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ALL THESE SCREENINGS WHILE THEY ARE AT THE GAMES. SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS HAVE CONTACTED US AFTER THE EVENT TO LET US KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF THESE SCREENINGS, THEY WERE MADE AWARE OF A HEALTH CONDITION THAT WAS MINIMIZED BECAUSE OF THE EARLY DETECTION. AS A PART OF THE HEALTH SCREENING PROGRAM, WE ALSO OFFER ATHLETES A BODY AGE ASSESSMENT. USING FOUR TESTS TO MEASURE FLEXIBILITY, STRENGTH, BMI AND ENDURANCE, WE ARE ABLE TO DETERMINE A BIOLOGICAL AGE AS COMPARED TO A CHRONOLOGICAL AGE. ONCE WE HAVE THE BIOLOGICAL AGE, IF IT CAN BE IMPROVED, WE WORK WITH THE ATHLETES TO EDUCATE THEM ON LIFESTYLE AND EXERCISE CHANGES THEY CAN MAKE TO REDUCE THEIR BODY AGE AND IMPROVE THEIR OVERALL HEALTH. IN THE INTEREST FOSTERING WORLD PEACE, THE GAMES OFFERS THE WORLD SENIOR VOLLEYBALL GLOBAL CUP CHAMPIONSHIPS. THIS IS A VERY PRESTIGIOUS AND EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT TO WHICH WE INVITE TOP VOLLEYBALL TEAMS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD TO REPRESENT THEIR COUNTRY. TEAMS FROM USA, CANADA, BRAZIL, GERMANY, POLAND, FINLAND, VENEZUELA, RUSSIA, ESTONIA, LATVIA AND CHINA HAVE PARTICIPATED. WHILE NOT ON THE COURTS, THE TEAM MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO TAKE PART IN SIGHTSEEING TOURS, SOCIALS, BANQUETS, CONCERTS, ETC., TO HELP THE PLAYERS GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND BETTER UNDERSTAND EACH OTHERS' CULTURES. THE TOURNAMENT INCLUDES FOUR DAYS OF POOL PLAY AND IS WRAPPED UP WITH A VERY SPECIAL FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT WHERE ALL PARTICIPANTS OF THE GAMES ARE INVITED TO ATTEND AND CHEER THEIR RESPECTIVE TEAMS ON TO VICTORY.
