18th annual event recognizes older adults for outstanding volunteer service

ORANGE PARK - The Golden Years Gala will be presenting its 18th annual event to recognize older adults for outstanding volunteer service in Clay County. What a wonderful way to say, “Thank You!” by nominating someone you know for their extraordinary efforts.

The 2025 categories are as follows: Volunteer Senior Man of the Year, Volunteer Senior Woman of the Year and the Ernie Cohen Lifetime Achievement Award. Senior adults are important to the community. They are a generation of high values, strong work ethic, commitment, integrity, generosity and loyalty.

Older adults are a wonderful example to all, showing that true fulfillment is to share their time and talents through serving. Nominees must be at least 60 and volunteer in Clay County. 

Deadline is Jan. 31. For nomination forms, go to tscoop.org, email info@tscoop.org or contact Elizabeth Reed at (904) 269-5315. 

This year’s Golden Years Gala will be held at Sullivan Hall and Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Fleming Island on Wednesday, May 7. Breakfast will be served at 8:30 a.m. with live and silent auctions. 

The awards program will follow the auction. 

The event benefits The Shepherd’s Center of Orange Park, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit which provides services to improve the quality of life and longer independence of hundreds of senior adults in Clay County through award-winning educational programming and events focused on health and wellness.
