Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Sallie Hussey, CEO of FiftyForward, and Charmin Bates, Founder and CEO of Creative Girls Rock, who highlight each of their nonprofit organizations and the story behind the Bordeaux Collaborative, a partnership with FiftyForward and Creative Girls Rock to build a new $6 million center designed to connect community members to resources, programming and shared community space. The idea to create the Bordeaux Collaborative was formed in 2019 through a community needs assessment conducted by FiftyForward and multiple nonprofits in the city.

During the interview, Sallie touches on FiftyForward's mission and efforts to support, champion and enhance life for those 50 and over as a leading resource for those who seek to live longer and more fulfilling lives. Charmin highlights Creative Girls Rock, which educates and empowers young girls and women to utilize their creative talents to enhance their lives and the world around them. Both then discuss the vision for the Bordeaux Collaborative, talk about the multi-purpose facility, provide an update on the public fundraising campaign, and how the community can get involved.
