THE 5 OVER 50 AWARDS
Aging Together has been honoring the positive impact of older adults for 13 years with the annual 5 Over 50 Celebration. The regional honor was created to highlight the significant contributions of older adults in each of our 5 counties.

The 5 Over 50 event underscores the fact that age doesn’t mean diminished capacity, and uproots stereotypes incorrectly assigned to older adults. In fact, through years of experience, older adults have singular wisdom that positively impacts our region in many ways including:
- Hours of support to organizations through volunteerism
- Caregiving for older and younger family members
- Financial contributions supporting the community at large and causes that matter
- Job experience that is passed on through mentorship and leadership in the workplace
One person (or couple) from each county is honored (Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange & Rappahannock). Nominations are sought at large from the region by mid January and the final five are chosen by committee in late February. The 5 honorees are announced in March.

CELEBRATION
We work with our partners at Culpeper Media Network to highlight the five honorees, creating a film "mini-biopic" of each (scroll down to see last year's film). The film is presented at the celebration.
This year the celebration will go back to being one event, on September 18, to celebrate all 5 honorees together.
