Enter the Pittsburgh 60 Strong Calendar Contest: Celebrate Life After 60

PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- You, or someone you know, could be featured as a "pin up" in the 2020 Pittsburgh 60 Strong calendar, an exclusive calendar featuring inspirational 60 somethings and highlighting area events and activities. A panel of celebrity judges will select 12 winners who exemplify how life after sixty can be a vibrant and active time. In addition to appearing in the calendar, winners receive "celebrity treatment" during a professional photo shoot and compensation for their time.

The public service program is sponsored by Preferred Primary Care Physicians (PPCP). Anyone age 18 or older can nominate a friend or relative between ages 60 and 69 who has achieved remarkable levels of fitness, pursued a new hobby or devoted time to helping those in need. The candidate might be raising money for a charity, or fighting a chronic health condition.

Here's how it works:

• Log on to www.Pittsburgh60strong.com, submit an application form, 200-400 word essay about your candidate, head shot and full-length photo by Wednesday, July 31, 2019. 
• Or download an application form at www.Pittsburgh60strong.com and mail the completed form, along with a 200-400 word essay, head-shot and full-length photo to: Pittsburgh 60 Strong Contest, c/o PPCP, Manor Oak 2 Building, Suite 490, 1910 Cochran Rd., Pittsburgh, PA 15220.

Candidates must be between ages 60 and 69 on Sept. 1, 2019, and a resident of Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland counties. Contestants are judged on their health/fitness, community involvement, volunteerism and how they are inspirational.

Those who nominate winning candidates will receive a $50 gift certificate to area establishments.

All proceeds from the calendar will benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in honor of Patty Lukach, a beloved PPCP employee who passed away from Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
