About the Awards
Nominating a senior is a wonderful way to honor someone who has touched your life. All nominees are given complimentary entry for themselves and a guest to the Inspire Positive Aging Awards Luncheon on June 20, 2018 at The Bellevue Hilton. This very special event brings together more than 300 people from diverse communities across King County . You won’t want to miss it!
Nominees are comprised of individuals whose lives exemplify positive aging: community involvement, relationships, healthy living, endurance, creativity, and balance—all traits we ourselves hope to exhibit as we age. This year, we will recognize recipients in the following categories: Advocacy + Activism, Community Service, Health + Wellness, Intergenerational Impact, Lifelong Learning and Defining Inspiration.
Last year’s IPAA Luncheon recognized a record-breaking 56 nominees and honored seven Award Recipients. In addition, this event raised more than $90,000 to support Sound Generations’ work on behalf of local elders!
