In addition to the older adults, several dozen medical students, including members of the Geriatrics Interest Group, and nearly a dozen community health organizations and sponsors participated. Among the organizations taking part were the Tallahassee Senior Center, The Area Agency on Aging for North Florida, Thagard Student Health Center, Bond Community Health Center, Department of Elder Affairs, Big Bend Cares Clinic, Pepper Institute on Aging, Leon County Health Department and Homes Instead Senior Care.

The event included free health screenings, demonstrations related to sexuality and aging, and a presentation by Dr. Lisa Granville, professor and associate chair of the Department of Geriatrics at the College of Medicine.
