Connecticut’s First 60 Over 60 Awards Launched

The search is on for 60 remarkable people over the age of 60 who will be honored in the state’s first “60 Over 60 Awards.”

The award was created by Duncaster as a way to showcase the lives of people 60 or better who have had a unique impact on their world, their communities or the lives of others.

“We are launching this statewide search for 60 people over age 60 whose everyday acts of kindness or achievements make an impact on the lives of others,” says Carol Ann McCormick, VP Sales and Marketing at Duncaster. “We are out to show that people over age 60 are always making things happen. We’ve all heard of 40 Under 40 awards that highlight the successes of this group of people. We created these awards in recognition of the ongoing inspiration and achievement of those 60 or better.”
