Honoring Extraordinary Oregonians for Their Lifelong Contributions

 

The Ageless Awards celebrates individuals over the age of 75 who have made significant, lasting contributions to their communities. These extraordinary honorees are not only role models for living a purposeful life, but they have also inspired countless others to give back to their communities. Whether through volunteer work, mentorship, or civic leadership, each of these individuals has demonstrated unwavering commitment to strengthening the fabric of our society and fostering connections that will continue to benefit generations to come.

 

“We are privileged to honor Marcia, George, Al, and Mac for their remarkable achievements,” said Stephanie Hooper, President & CEO, AGE+. “Their unwavering service and leadership have left an indelible mark on our communities, and their stories serve as an inspiration for all of us to continue giving back and making a difference.”

 

New Documentary Short Film Showcases the Future of Housing

 

In addition to honoring these remarkable individuals, this year’s Ageless Awards will premiere the new AGE+ documentary short film, Breaking Ground: An AGE+ Story, which illustrates the profound impact of accessible, affordable modular housing. This film highlights housing solutions that follow universal design principles, ensuring they are adaptable and age-friendly. The film showcases how modular housing offers a sustainable, safe, and inclusive living environment that supports individuals as their needs change over time, particularly for older adults. And perhaps most importantly, the film profiles the inspiring stories of those lifted up and supported by the AGE+ mission.

 

“The film underscores the importance of creating affordable housing solutions that cater to all ages and abilities,” said Stephanie Hooper, President & CEO, AGE+. “By using universal design, these homes are built to evolve with residents, ensuring they can remain independent and comfortable as they age.”
