We had a fantastic and energetic Morning Pointe Foundation Seniors Got Talent show in Chattanooga, TN, last night! 🌟 With more than 400 attendees and 12 acts of seniors ages 60-93, the event raised awareness of the amazing talents of older adults… and raised $33,000 for the Morning Pointe Foundation! 🤩 🥇Taking home the 1st place grand prize of $1,000 was singer Susan Taylor, 63! She blew away the judges and the audience with her soulful performance of “Try a Little Tenderness.” 🥈The 2nd place prize of $500 went to ballroom dancer couple Richard and Laurie Collett, ages 76 and 71, for their routine to an adapted version of “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” 🥉3rd place and $250 went to 87-year-old Agene Parsons, who joyfully performed “Steel Guitar Rag” on the hammered dulcimer. Lastly, audience members cast votes for their favorite performers at $1 per vote for the Foundation. The People’s Choice Award went to 60-year-old Bryan Skinner for his comical lip synch to “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.” 😂 Thank you to everyone who made this event special and successful! From our amazing acts and supportive sponsors to our enthusiastic audience, it was a fantastic night for the Morning Pointe Foundation! #SeniorsGotTalent #AgeIsJustANumber #MorningPointeFoundation

Did you catch the one and only Corkey Miller on America's Got Talent?! We did! 🤩 We are so proud of Corkey and delighted that the AGT showrunners discovered her through her win at the 2023 Morning Pointe Foundation's Seniors Got Talent Knoxville show. It just goes to show you never know what can happen at SGT! 📺 You can watch her comedy sketch 😂 and the judges' responses in the video below. We had the chance to talk with Corkey herself, and here is what she had to say about her experience, "I keep pinching myself," said Miller, age 63. "There was so much talent there, and I kept telling myself, 'How's this little old lady going to compete with any of that?' I feel like I won the lottery, and I've never won anything in my entire life except for a Chad Atkins record when I was in the third grade." Miller added to the Foundation, "Thank you for giving me the start that I needed, the courage to go forward. Everybody has a hidden dream that we had when we were a kid, and then we grow up, and we get in the real world and our job and our families and all that, and we suppress that dream because it doesn't seem like the mature thing to do. I'm saying, 'Heck with maturity - go for the dream!' It's not too late." 👀 We can't wait to see what happens as the show progresses! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eGCvBAY5
