Blue Cross of Idaho is looking for six senior citizens to serve as Ageless Heroes.

The program honors Idaho residents, age 65 and older, who demonstrate extraordinary physical or mental abilities, community involvement, a love of learning or a unique talent. The award is also open to those seniors who have overcome the challenges of a disability and those who have a strong bond with their grandchildren.

Nomination information is available by calling toll-free at (877) 286-8106. All nominations are due by Feb. 26.

Idaho’s Ageless Heroes will compete against winners from around the country to be one of six National Ageless Heroes. Those selected will receive an all-expenses paid trip to Chicago for the national awards luncheon.
