“The Senior Inspiration Awards is a valleywide tradition honoring 11 senior citizen volunteers, for their continuing service to many local organizations,” said Supervisor Perez. “Through sponsorships, we are able to keep the cost of the luncheon down so people can come out, enjoy a nice meal and special program while supporting this event and helping it continue for the future. Please join us as the Coachella Valley community honors an exceptional group of individuals, from all throughout our valley who help make our communities better, at the Senior Inspiration Awards!”

This major event was established in 1992 by Riverside County and all nine Coachella Valley cities to recognize the community’s unsung heroes, senior citizens 65 years of age and older who inspire others through their volunteerism and contributions to the community.

Graciano (Coachella), Teresa Valencia Sanchez (Desert Hot Springs), Ginny Whitman (Indian Wells), Sylvia Tenorio (Indio), Ada Nuckels (La Quinta), Betty Baxter (Palm Desert), Evernell Black (Palm Springs) and Mary Lou Suter (Rancho Mirage).
