Games LLC Manager and Event Controller
Adelle A. Benyo, Vice President & Trust Officer, 1st Source Bank
I've always thought athletics and competition play an important part in our health, and also beneficial for our mental well being. Michiana Fit for Life Games is an event that does more than provide an opportunity to compete and enjoy the sport of your choice. The intent is to have fun, provide an arena for competition for persons age 50 and older, have a community event, and benefit a worthy organization- the Council on Aging. I'm honored to be one of many participating.

Tyfanny Mosso, Community Relations Coordinator for Senior Helpers.
I can't wait for the Michiana Fit For Life Games weekend this August! I enjoy being involved in our wonderful community, and this event is going to be dynamic! My favorite thing about my job is helping others! The Michiana Fit For Life Games offers many ways for anyone turning 50 this year and older to discover what it means to be fit for them, no matter what their current level of fitness is at this time. We have a great core team that is very passionate about starting a wellness trend across Michana. We hope that this is the first of many years of Games to come. I'm honored to be on the team!

Racquetball
Valerie Schumaker, Youth Sports Administrator for the YMCA of Elkhart County.
Racquetball has been a health-saver and motivator for me since learning the game in college. The Michiana Fit For Life Games are an avenue for me to give back to the community. Ideal intertwining of the two!
