70 over 70 Awards Celebration

Event Information

THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING EVENING HONORING 70 OVER 70!

The 70 Over 70 Awards Celebration is a biennial event that honors 70 individuals who are 70 or better and who are living examples of meaningful and engaged aging. The theme of this year’s event was ‘The Moonstruck Ball’. The honorees are nominated by members of the community and selected by a committee. The selected honorees may be entrepreneurs, business leaders, volunteers, environmentalists, or neighborhood activists who come from all walks of life.

The evening included honoring our 70 honorees and announcing our Elbert Cole Lifetime Achievement Award recipient along with entertainment, dinner, a silent and a live auction. 

Check back for our 2026 nominations.
