A new prize program to honor people aged 60 and older who are working to solve social problems in an innovative way has named 15 finalists.
The finalists, who will each receive $10,000, include a former mayor who helps children of incarcerated parents, a retired businessman who created an organization to assist seriously ill children, and a woman who started an association to help caregivers of chronically ill people.
A panel of nonprofit, business, cultural, and political leaders will award $100,000 'Purpose Prizes' to five of the finalists, who are aged 60 to 81, in September"
