Essence of Life Awards
Occurring each spring at the Southwestern Yacht Club, this uplifting event is a heartfelt tribute where we honor extraordinary individuals and organizations whose dedication embodies ElderHelp’s mission.
Our next Essence of Life Awards and Charity Auction will occur on Sunday, March 21, 2027 from 2:00 to 5:00 PM. Sign up for ElderHelp’s newsletter (bottom right corner of our homepage) to stay up to date on this and other ElderHelp events.
