The awards celebrate the advancements and contributions made in improving the lives of adults over age 60 throughout Fairfield County by volunteers, individuals, businesses and organizations. 

“We know that there are significant advancements taking place throughout our region to address the needs of older adults and contribute to their quality of life.
