A SILVER WARRIOR
Purpose
The Silver Warriors Project is designed to acknowledge people over 65 and to inspire others to live a healthy and active lifestyle. We allow other generations to recognize the Silver Warriors in their lives.
The project will achieve this through several initiatives. We will celebrate active seniors who embody the characteristics of a Silver Warrior. Documentary video style profiles will be created on each of these individuals highlighting the methods and practices they follow that keep them in optimum shape. These could include exercise, diet, work, community involvement and other activities that contribute to successful healthy aging. These profiles will be featured on a website and dedicated pages on social media outlets such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter etc.
The Silver Warriors Project will also feature stories and articles designed to encourage a healthy active lifestyle.
Once several stories have been compiled, we will use the aggregated information to see patterns in the methods and practices that are essential to a healthy active lifestyle. We will create videos and articles on these patterns that help educate and inform people over 65 on practices that may help them achieve the same healthy active lifestyle.
The entire project is designed to create a Silver Warriors community of people who are proud to be Silver Warriors and who inspire and encourage others to live the same lifestyle. A series of promotional items (certificates, pins, medals, shirts, hats and mugs etc.) have been created to allow Silver Warriors to proudly display or promote that they have achieved Silver Warrior status and are part of the Silver Warrior community. These have been packaged in 4 different gift packages to be purchased by family members and presented to the Silver Warriors in their lives. Give the gift of nominating your Silver Warriors. Proceeds from these gifts allow us to continue to offer a free nomination process, maintain the website and contribute to our community.
The key to unburdening the medical system is to have people live active and engaged lives that allow them to live longer and healthier. One of the key objectives of Silver Warriors is to promote healthy aging.
