The Senior Cupid Ball started as an event for Detroitโs senior women, but has become so popular that senior men were invited for Saturdayโs event. The event is to thank the seniors for supporting the Detroit Police Department and to show Detroitโs seniors how valuable they are to the community. โIt was a way to bring out, initially, senior women who live alone -- or are alone -- and to let them know they are not forgotten,โ Craig said. According to Craig, hundreds of seniors were turned away Saturday because the event reached capacity and that the Senior Cupid Ball will be ready for a much larger attendance.
