🎤⭐ Lexington, you showed up for senior talent!
The 7th Annual Morning Pointe Foundation Seniors Got Talent Lexington brought an incredible group of performers aged 60 and older to the Lexington Opera House, each stepping onto the stage to share something they love with an enthusiastic Bluegrass audience.
And what a night it was! Nearly 350 family, friends, sponsors, and community members chose to spend the evening with us. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, supporters, and guests, the evening raised over $36,000, including almost $2,700 through People’s Choice voting alone. Funds raised support the Morning Pointe Foundation’s caregiver education programs and scholarships for students pursuing nursing, social work, therapy, and culinary arts at partner schools right here in Kentucky.
🏆 Congratulations to this year’s winners!
🥇 1st Place AND People's Choice: Jerry Newby, 73-year-old singer
🥈 2nd Place: Glitter Bugs, dance troupe, ages 67-90
🥉 3rd Place: Joannie Penner, 73-year-old opera singer
🎨 Resident Art Show Overall Winner: Brenda Frederick, 84-year-old painter of The Lantern at Morning Pointe, Danville - Memory Care
🎨 Resident Art Show People's Choice: Patricia Chipps, 95-year-old painter of Morning Pointe of Danville Assisted Living
Most of all, thank you to every performer who stepped onto the stage and shared their talent with Lexington. And thank you to our artists, judges, sponsors, volunteers, and everyone in the audience who helped make the evening possible.
What a night celebrating the incredible talent of our seniors! ⭐
