You live. You learn. You give back.<br />
<br />
No one knows this better than people ages 50<br />
and older, who have spent decades<br />
accumulating a wealth of knowledge that only<br />
life experience can bring. Armed with this<br />
wisdom, they are a powerhouse of innovation<br />
tackling some of the greatest societal<br />
challenges of our time and inspiring others to<br />
do the same.<br />
<br />
The AARP® Purpose Prize® award supports<br />
AARP's mission by honoring extraordinary<br />
people ages 50 and older who tap into the<br />
power of life experience to build a better<br />
future for us all.<br />
<br />
“AARP is honored to celebrate these<br />
extraordinary older adults, who have<br />
dedicated their lives to serving others in<br />
creative and innovative ways,” said AARP CEO<br />
Jo Ann Jenkins. “During these trying times in<br />
our country and globally, we are inspired to<br />
see people use their life experiences to build a<br />
better future for us all.”<br />

Founder and<br />
Administrative Director,<br />
Fulton Block Builders<br />
"When I was 62, I founded Fulton Block Builders, a grassroots community revitalization<br />
program in Fulton, NY. For the past three years, the program has offered grants and<br />
incentives to homeowners to renovate their properties through an approach designed<br />
to restore neighborhood ties and community pride."<br />
The problem I’m trying to solve<br />
Like many other American cities, Fulton used to be dominated by nearby large manufacturers —<br />
in our case, the Miller Brewing Co. and Nestlé, which together employed more than 2,000<br />
workers. After the plants closed, other businesses left, and Fulton experienced high rates of<br />
unemployment, depressed property values, and disrepair. Eventually, these blows affected the<br />
psyche of the city. Community residents had lost vision and pride in our hometown. I wanted to<br />
see if there was a way to bring those back.<br />
Fulton Block Builders was formed to revitalize neighborhoods, block by block, and inspire pride<br />
and community camaraderie. We provide small grants to groups of homeowners to help them<br />
restore, beautify and ultimately transform their block. But it is not just about planting flowers,<br />
hanging a new storm door, or trimming the hedges. Residents play a role in the decision-making<br />
process, the planning, and the implementation of neighborhood projects. They must apply as a<br />
group, help one another with projects and plan at least one celebratory event.<br />
The idea is to help homeowners feel more confident about their properties and more connected<br />
as a community. In 2018, our second year, Fulton Block Builders approved 24 distinct blocks and<br />
212 properties for grants. For every dollar invested, property owners themselves invested 3.5<br />
times that amount. Nearly $500,000 was invested in participating properties.<br />
