Older Americans Month
Champion Your Health
For Older Americans Month, Sound Generations wants YOU to get involved. This year’s theme Champion Your Health encourages us to connect with the things that empower people to live their healthiest lives.
Sound Generations is piloting an Older Americans Month community bingo focused on senior centers in King County. Throughout the month of May, participants can participate in local centers, learn about Older Americans Month, and engage with their aging neighbors for a chance to win bingo prizes.
Join us for Community Bingo
Take an active role in your aging journey
Senior centers are activity hubs that offer many solutions for older adults to champion their health. This year, we are sharing our first-ever community bingo, encouraging people to get involved, try new programs, and meet people in their community.
We are thrilled to unveil the artwork by artist ET Russian.
Get involved in your local community and win BINGO for a chance to win prizes, including a Seattle Sounders scarf signed by Pedro de la Vega.
E.T. RUSSIAN is a multi-sensory artist and cartoonist. They make things that can be felt, seen and heard. Their work has shown across North America and the UK and is in the permanent collections of Wellcome Collection in London, the United States Library of Congress, Washington State Convention Center and the City of Seattle. Russian enjoys making comics with as many different materials as possible. To date they’ve worked in neon, metal, resin, stone, rope, clay, paint, wax, felt, paper and ink.
