BRATTLEBORO — Leading up to Older Americans Month in May, Senior Solutions and the Brattleboro Senior Center are teaming up to show the award-winning documentary film Age of Champions on Wednesday, April 15, at 1:30 p.m., at the Latchis Theatre.
Age of Champions is the story of five competitors who sprint, leap, and swim for gold at the National Senior Olympics. You'll meet an 100-year-old tennis champion, an 86-year-old pole vaulter, and rough-and-tumble basketball grandmothers as they triumph over the limitations of age. But when one competitor loses a spouse and another is diagnosed with cancer, they've got to dig even deeper to make their Olympic dreams come true.
The film will be followed by a reception with refreshments and representatives from local organizations.
Attendees age 50 and up may also sign up for MOVE for Well Being, a program that awards $25 for reaching daily exercise goals.
Admission is free, but donations are welcome. The theater is wheelchair accessible. Door prizes will be provided by local businesses for exercise, arts and sports opportunities.
