Senior-Fest-2025

Senior Fest 2025 held at the Reno Town Mall, September 2, proved to be important in connecting seniors to businesses, organizations and vital services to assist aging in the community. Hats off to all who participated. 

Organizers of Senior Fest like to thank those organizations that offered unique goods and services to support those with disabilities, and to Safeway Pharmacy for providing vaccinations to support elders from flu, COVID, pneumonia, shingles and RSV. We’d like to also shout out Guardant Health and Your Main Lab, who provided blood draws to people in need. The screenings included CBC, Lipid Panel, Hemoglobin, and Comprehensive Metabolic Panel to those who qualified. 

We would also like to thank our sponsors and partners, who without them, Senior Fest would not occur. Main sponsors include the Dolan Automotive Group, AARP Nevada, the J Resort, Gold Dust West, and of course Senior Spectrum Newspaper. Other sponsors include the Washoe County Human Services Agency, City of Reno Seniors Engaged, Lakeside Manor, Northern Nevada Health System, Prominence Health, Consumer Direct Care, Circle of Life Community Hospice, and NV Energy. 

Partners include My Favorite Muffin, DoughBoys Donuts and sandwiches from Deli Town USA. A special thanks to the Senior Auxiliary Volunteer Effort (SAVE), Senior Fest volunteers, the Swingin’ JazzKats (Erika Paul, David Aller, Nick Vivier, Neil Strocchio), Reno Town Mall and Atlantis Resort Casino.

Senior Fest 2025 is dedicated to the memory of Tom Dolan, who left a lasting legacy of contributions and support in the Northern Nevada community.
