The Oswego County Office for the Aging (OFA) hosts “Reach Out and Play” from 3 to 5 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 11 at the Fulton Municipal Building, 141 S. First St., Fulton. The event encourages people of all ages to come together and celebrate older adults through all-inclusive play.

The “Reach Out and Play” campaign is a national initiative by Ageless Innovation focused on combatting social isolation in seniors and creating meaningful connections through intergenerational play. The campaign kicks off ahead of National Grandparents’ Day on Sunday, Sept. 10.

“Many older adults face social isolation, which studies show can have a negative impact on their health and well-being,” said Oswego County Office for the Aging Director Sara Sunday. “We are thrilled to participate in ‘Reach Out and Play’ and we encourage our older residents and their families to come connect with each other and others through the power of play.”

The free event is open to the public and offers a wide variety of board and card games for attendees to play together. Ageless Innovation has also recently partnered with Hasbro on classic games with a twist to make them more age inclusive to seniors. Games that will be offered at the event include “Game of Life Generations,” “Scrabble Bingo” and “Trivial Pursuit Generations.”

Registration is required for the event. For more information or to register, call the Oswego County Office for the Aging at 315-349-3484.
