Amazing Seniors: Celebrating a Remarkable 2024

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible community of supporters who have been the backbone of our success throughout 2024. Your unwavering support, helping hands, and endless encouragement have made every achievement possible. Angels… you know who you are! GROUNDBREAKING INITIATIVES IN 2024 1. The Inaugural Walk-a-Breakfasthon Our first-ever Walk-a-Breakfasthon proved to be an extraordinary success. As promised it was all about walking a little and eating a little at each checkpoint per kilometre. While it may have been insane to have put this event together in under two months, we were justifiably rewarded by the enthusiasm and excitement shown by the hundreds of participants from across the generations. The event, graced by Yang Berhormat Hannah Yeoh, showcased the vibrant spirit of our community. Participants delighted us with their creativity – from elegant saree-clad walkers to those sporting bright pink wigs, and even someone memorably riding an EMU! While we acknowledge some logistical challenges at the conclusion, we're committed to delivering an even more spectacular experience in 2025. 2. Talent Quest 2024 This year's Talent Quest returned with a bigger bang. The remarkable performances we witnessed impressed even the most discerning eye of our main judge, Joanne Kam. Our champion, Raphael Monteiro dazzled both on and off stage, while our runner-up Amizan bin Ariffin mesmerized audiences with virtuoso keyboard performances. Third-place winner Monica Lim moved viewers to tears with a powerful pantomime dance depicting her life journey. A special highlight was Miss Maria Tay, Mrs. Malaysia, who delivered a stunning rendition of Whitney Houston's "One Moment in Time." 3. Life Begins at 50 Festival The Amazing Seniors Life Begins at 50 Festival 2024 moved to a new venue at Tropicana Shopping Mall and it drew close to 60,000 visitors over the 3 days. We continued the tradition of having informative exhibitions, senior-related talks, performances by seniors as well as enlightening demonstrations. This year we also celebrated World Heart Day at the festival with free cardiac check-ups by Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya (PPUM) and complimentary health screenings for seniors by Sunway Medical Group, Insight Chiropractor, Seers, SmileLink, Anlene amongst others. Onboard for the event include other lifestyle brands such as Chocolat World, Massimo Bread, Vinda Marketing (Tena), Thomson (Herbal Revival), Xing Lin TCM Centre, Sedunia Tours, Thai Tourism, Live-well, Top Group, Beacon Mart, Sunway Sanctuary, Carey Circles, Ecominin, EPF, Securities Commission, ACT Health, Resort World, Curble, Prife, iElder, Enagic (Kangen Water), Stairlift World, Emu Oil Naturally and more. 4. Embracing Technology We concluded 2024 with an innovative AI Class in partnership with Point College, where our seniors enthusiastically learned to create their own videos, demonstrating that learning knows no age bounds. LOOKING FORWARD TO 2025 We're excited to announce an enhanced program lineup for 2025: - Revamped editions of our signature events: Talent Quest, Life Begins at 50 Festival, and Walk-a-Breakfasthon - New initiatives including Training Classes for Senior KOLs - Special World Health Day Celebration - Additional programs to be announced Our New Home Amazing Seniors has recently relocated to Damansara Jaya, where we look forward to hosting our traditional Lou Sang celebration and creating more memorable moments with our community. We extend our deepest gratitude to our sponsors, whose generous support enables us to continuously expand our programs and impact. As we settle into our new space, we remain committed to enriching the lives of seniors and creating even more amazing experiences in 2025. Together, we continue to prove that life truly begins at 50!
