Silver Games Pit Senior Against Senior In Competitive Sporting Events

Predictions are that Friendship Village's eighth annual Silver Games will be the most successful to date. On September 10th-11th and 14th-16th, approximately 350 participants ages 62 and over, will be competing in more than 32 events including quarterback toss, seated floor hockey, soccer penalty kicks, Sudoku and more.

Silver Games feature friendly competition for seniors, and encourage exercise of both the body and the brain. The Silver Games, which are coordinated by Friendship Village, are held in cooperation with the Schaumburg Park District, The Barn, and Dundee Township.

"While the primary focus is celebrating seniors, the games are also a great example of the fun things that can happen through community partnerships, " said Jeff Rose, lifestyles manager. "We have so many great resources in our community with whom we are able to collaborate for the event."

The Silver Games are developed for all ability, activity and interest levels.
