Aging isn't about slowing down. It's about discovering what's still possible!

In celebration of Ageism Awareness Day, October 9, 2026, Senior Friendship Centers came together to challenge outdated stereotypes about aging and celebrate the opportunities that come with every stage of life!

We were honored to welcome Marc Middleton, founder of Growing Bolder, who shared an inspiring keynote reminding us that age doesn't define our potential, purpose, or possibilities.

The celebration also marked an exciting new chapter: the launch of our Longevity Club!
Developed by Growing Bolder, Longevity Club brings people together through inspiring stories, meaningful conversations, lifelong learning, and activities that encourage healthier, more connected, and more purposeful lives.

JOIN US HERE AT OUR SARASOTA CAMPUS!
