Overview & Brief History of the "5 Over 65" Celebration: Aging Together has been honoring the positive impact of older adults for 14 years with the annual 5 Over 65 Celebration (formerly 5 Over 50). The regional honor was created to highlight the significant contributions of older adults in each of our 5 counties, Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange & Rappahannock. The 5 honorees will be announced in May. 

This year's celebration is planned with our annual meeting on August 27, 2026, at Fauquier Springs Country Club.
