“Big Hearted Stories is such a special opportunity for our community to come together, share stories and support truly essential programs for older adults,” Big Hearts for Seniors Creative Director Breeda Miller said. “Our theme for 2022 is ‘journeys,’ and we expect to hear great stories about different sorts of journeys from a group of extraordinary storytellers.”
The 17th annual fundraiser will be held at 7 p.m. May 17 at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre and Michigan League, which is at 911 North University Avenue in Ann Arbor.
Community members can submit their stories through Feb. 25.
