Nominate a Silver Star!
Silver Stars come from all different backgrounds - teachers, nurses, church or community leaders, scientists, military veterans, grandparents and more. The one thing Silver Stars have in common is their approach to optimal aging and maintaining an active lifestyle.
Eight Silver Stars will be selected from nominees to be recognized at the Silver Stars Gala on May 9. Do you know someone who is an example of optimal, positive aging or community service since turning age 60?
