FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 23, 2010
(Toronto, ON): Question: What is a fun way for older adults and seniors to meet new people, keep their brains active & improve their memory? Answer: Play Grey Matters! Trivia.
SageHealth Network, an agency providing seniors’ health promotion, has teamed up with PubStumpers Trivia League to launch Grey Matters!, an exciting live-hosted trivia game for older adults and seniors.
With 10 years combined experience in senior care and event planning, SageHealth Network and PubStumpers have been providing fun, interactive and stimulating events to approximately 200 establishments including charitable & healthcare organizations, seniors’ centre, legions, pubs & taverns, and country clubs & golf courses.
Trivia exercises the pathways to long-term memory and mental stimulation which keep brains healthy, functioning and active. Questions exercise listening and verbal skills, strengthen mental and cognitive abilities and encourage seniors’ socialization. Overall, more exposure to non-routine activities demanding the brain to process new information can help lower the risk of diseases such as various forms of dementia and Alzheimer’s for seniors.
Sponsored by RBC, Grey Matters! national debut will be at St. Paul’s Canada Day event on Wednesday, June 30th at Bridlewood Mall (2900 Warden Ave @ Finch Ave E. NE entrance near Price Choppers). The game is divided into 4 quarters: short answer questions, music clips, true or false questions and multiple choice. Plenty of prizes will be awarded for individuals or team players. Grey Matters! will begin at 11:00am and participants can play a game every 45 minutes until the last game at 2:00pm.
Come out and test your memory, have fun and meet new people. Brainiacs welcome. For more information, contact Michele Cauch at SageHealth Network at 647-831-6630. For information on SageHealth Network health promotion workshops for older adults and seniors, visit www.sagehealthnetwork.com.
