services continue to grow, please join us and become an advertiser, sponsors,

Elderwerks Senior Resource Directory
Our comprehensive 350+ page Directory showcases Illinois businesses, not-for-profit organizations, local programming, and federal benefits. The 2023/2024 Directory is now available and Elderwerks is no longer accepting advertising applications. The 2025/2026 Directory will start taking advertisers in January 2024.
Annual Aging Better
Expo
The Annual Aging Better Expo is held annually in August. This year's Aging Better Expo will be held on August 9, 2023 at The Stonegate Banquet & Conference Centre in Hoffman Estates. Sponsors educate the attendees on local products,
services, and benefits at their individual tables, however no items may be sold onsite. Elderwerks holds 12 education seminars throughout the day. Adult children, caregivers, older adults, and seniors enjoy an
informative event, connect with sponsors and everyone is treated to morning
pastries, lunch, and fun prizes. Please view the details and application here.

Stepping Out to Fitness
A fun, beneficial
program offering older adults and seniors the opportunity to stay fit and join
the “Elderwerks Challenge”. Following registration, participants receive a
t-shirt and daily log. They join the fun and perform daily
exercises, record their efforts, and turn in their monthly log for a chance to
win a prize. Participants who complete and submit their fitness logs are
entered into the Grand Prize Drawing for an Apple Watch or flat screen TV.
Currently, this program lasts 12 months with two different t-shirts printed every six months. We are now accepting sponsors for our July 2023-December 2023 cycle. Sponsors logos are included on the
t-shirts, Stepping Out for Fitness newsletter, the monthly log, and on social media. Sign up here to sponsor. Interested in other ways to support Stepping out to Fitness? Click here to learn more.
