The goal of our GALA is to celebrate older adults and healthy aging. Detroit Area Agency on Aging (DAAA) will acknowledge their lives lived, experiences, and things that bring them joy. We aim to improve the health of older adults living in our region by providing educational insight, support and resources to those living with chronic illnesses and impacted by social determinants of health.
Spend an afternoon celebrating the beauty of aging.
We aim to highlight the genuine experiences of older adults growing wiser and more confident with age. We know that looking good at any age goes far beyond fashion.
Join us and discover ways to stay healthy and look good from the inside out.
Be just as vibrant as your legacy!
