AARP Utah Sponsors Huntsman World Senior Games

AARP Utah is proud to sponsor the Huntsman World Senior Games--the largest sports event for those 50+ in the world with athletes competing from all 50 states and 21 nations.  This year, 10,745 competitors gathered in St. George, Utah where the Games are held to compete in dozens of sports from archery to volleyball.  There are 2500 volunteers who make the Games run smoothly in what is now the 28th year of the Games.  The Games opened on October 5 and will close on October 18.

According to principal sponsors Jon and Karen Huntsman, "The Huntsman World Senior Games were founded on the idea of fostering worldwide peace, health, and friendship.  What great ideals to strive for.  If we worked each day, just a little bit, to instill these values in our own lives, think of the change we could make.  There are so many ways we can make a difference in the world, starting with simple acts of everyday active and healthy living."  AARP couldn't agree more with these sentiments.  We believe AARP's "Real Possibilities" in life encompass healthy living and staying active.  The Games offer an outstanding opportunity to prove that no one's possibilities should ever be limited by their age.
