Older American's Month Events

Each May, the Administration for Community Living spearheads the celebration of Older
American’s Month as a time to recognize older Americans’ contributions, highlight aging trends
and reaffirm commitments to serving older adults. As part of MARC’s commitment to thriving older
adults and communities, we now coordinate two annual events in celebration and service of Older
American’s Month: the Age of Celebration Health Fair and the Age Positive Conference.

Age Positive Conference

The annual Age Positive: Ideas for an Age-Friendly Future conference provides a forum for innovative program ideas and offers workshops to help participants hone their leadership skills.

Age of Celebration

Age of Celebration is a health and resource fair designed to address the disconnect between available resources and community needs in Kansas City’s urban core.

FUNDRAISING

We value all partnerships across the region that help us reach our goals of professional development for aging professionals and strategic engagement of older adults. By providing support to these initiatives, vendors and sponsors can help create transformative events that enhance health, education and community engagement among older adults and caregivers in Kansas City.
