I discovered FiftyForward in 2018 after retiring, looking for a place to play pool and connect with others. What I found was much more—I made some of the best friends of my life and found renewed purpose. With my family living far away, retirement threatened to leave me without activity or fellowship, but FiftyForward filled that void. I enjoy playing pool daily, joined the Donelson Station Advisory Council, served as president, and started a cornhole club. Social isolation is a major health risk for older adults, but FiftyForward offers a solution—helping thousands, including me, find happiness and well-being. That’s why I’ve included FiftyForward in my estate plans, leaving about 10% as a thank-you for the joy and community I’ve found here and as an investment in an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of others in their golden years.
