7 over Seventy Awards

Senior Services is proud to continue to plan and host the annual 7 over Seventy Awards as we celebrate 10 years of honoring older adults who have made a significant impact on Forsyth County! Every year, the community is invited to submit nominations for consideration, which will go through a thorough review process by the selection committee. Past honorees represent a wonderfully diverse swath of people who share one thing in common—a love for their community.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2025 HONOREES!
