Playwright Marc Holland presents his story at the 2020 Big Hearts for Seniors event. Big Hearts for Seniors is searching for community members willing to share their stories at its annual fundraiser. The Big Hearts for Seniors: Generations event will happen virtually on May 27, 2021. Our theme “Generations” will allow our storytellers to share memories of connection and tradition,” said Big Hearts for Seniors artistic director Breeda Miller. During the week on April 12, storytellers will record their stories in front of a small audience which will be shown at the Big Hearts for Seniors: Generations event in May.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. On July 30, the Big Hearts for Seniors annual benefit event will be held online with storytelling and a virtual silent auction to support five Michigan Medicine community programs that serve adults. Starting at 7 p.m., six storytellers from around Michigan will share their experiences and stories about different aspects of aging. To support the five programs, community members can bid on items in a silent auction from July 23 to Aug. 7. Originally set for May, the Big Hearted Stories: Experiences of Aging event was postponed and moved online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
