Aging Together has been honoring the positive impact of older adults for 14 years with the annual 5 Over 65 Celebration (formerly 5 Over 50). The regional honor was created to highlight the significant contributions of older adults in each of our 5 counties. 

The 5 Over 65 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 and are due by March 31, 2026. The 5 honorees will be announced in May. 


CELEBRATION

We work with our partners at Culpeper Media Network to highlight the five honorees, creating a film "mini-biopic" of each. The film is presented at the celebration. 


 This year's celebration is planned with our annual meeting on August 27, 2026 at Fauquier Springs Country Club. Check back for updated information!
