Silver Stars was designed as an opportunity for talented seniors to take the stage in Music City and compete for the first-place $5,000 cash prize.

We at HealthSpring know there is huge pool of untapped talent that has been ignored by shows like American Idol™ (contestants must be age 16-28!), America’s Got Talent™, and Nashville Star™. HealthSpring, a Medicare Advantage plan dedicated to helping older Americans get more from Medicare and more from life, saw an opportunity to harness that untapped energy and talent for our own senior talent showcase.

The Silver Stars finals were a huge success, thanks to the exceptional talents of all the participants and the hard work of the many people who made the event possible, including our YMCA of Middle Tennessee co-sponsors. We extend our congratulations to our three winners, Thomas Maupin, Jeannie Gleaves, and Uncle Doc Wilhite, and to all the participants for demonstrating what it means to live a full, active life after 60.
