AARP Pima County at the Sunnyside School District Burrito Run!

On Sunday, September 15th, AARP Pima County volunteers participated in the annual Sunnyside School District Foundation Burrito Run at Mission Manor Park. With the 2024 presidential election approaching, volunteers engaged with over 300 community members, highlighting the importance of paying attention to candidates who prioritize Social Security and caregiving in their campaigns. Community members, particularly in South Tucson's predominantly Hispanic/Latino community, expressed their support and appreciation for AARP Arizona's advocacy on these critical issues.

Volunteers provided information in both English and Spanish and distributed campaign materials for the "Seguro Social: Te lo has ganado" initiative. In addition, over 500 water bottles were handed out to participants at the 5K run’s finish line, further supporting the community.
