Our 2026 Celebration of Aging will be Thursday, March 26!
Ernie Hudson, 79, best known for roles in Ghostbusters and Grace & Frankie, is our special guest speaker. Ernie was born in poverty and raised in the housing projects of Benton Harbor, Michigan, in a time where civil rights had a long road ahead. He was supported foremost by his grandmother, who taught him patience and graciousness. The wisdom Hudson gained before his Hollywood days allows him to relate to struggling individuals and communities. He understands the challenges of overcoming seemingly insurmountable problems and inspires others to always persevere.
