Bruce the Goose — Department of Aging Senior Rides Mascot

“Bruce the Goose is going to be a recognizable icon in the county (St. Mary's) for our Senior Rides program,” says Jennie Page, Deputy Director, SMCDA. “There are approximately 15,000 senior citizens — 60 and over — in our county. We have the fastest growth rate (258%) in the state (Maryland) for this population segment. We want to reach them with our ‘Bruce the Goose’ message.”

“Bruce is a lighthearted approach to reaching those seniors who have no other means of transportation. Their collective need will hopefully be matched with the necessary recruitment of volunteer drivers.”

TCM worked with Full Stride Communications of Leonardtown in brainstorming the initial design concepts for Bruce the Goose.
