Announcing AFAR's 35th Anniversary Celebration!

Dear Friends:

In 2016, AFAR celebrates its 35th anniversary.

In over three decades, AFAR has built the field by funding biomedical research on healthy aging and supporting efforts to improve geriatric care and promote the latest scientific findings.

And with you, our valued supporters, we are looking back and moving ahead.

Over the next year, AFAR is excited to share:

- Highlights from our archives

- News and views from our grantees

- Perspectives from our symposiums

- Interviews with our experts

- Invites to special events, like our 35th Anniversary Dinner this fall

- Look for updates in your inbox, and follow AFARorg on Facebook and Twitter.

We could do none of this without your continued support. Thank you!

Together, let’s make this the Age of Aging Better.

Sincerely,
