Our 7th Annual 80 Over Eighty Celebration!
Discover Inspiring Central Texans Age 80+
Family Eldercare’s 80 Over Eighty is an annual celebration where we share heartwarming stories of our friends and neighbors in Central Texas who are 80 and older. Honorees are selected for their positive impact on others and the diversity of their experiences. Nearly $70,000 was raised for affordable housing, health and wellness, and advocacy services for older adults.
This year’s event had a special flair—a jazz-inspired theme, celebrating not only the unique and soulful stories of these individuals but also the rhythm and improvisation that mirrors their lives.
Please enjoy access to event highlights, photos, and the Honoree tributes.
