From powerful vocal performances and heartfelt piano pieces to comedy acts, dancing, storytelling, and unexpected surprises, Seniors Got Talent has become one of Chattanooga’s most uplifting summer traditions, celebrating the creativity, courage, and passion of older adults across the region.
“Every year, this event reminds us that talent, confidence, and creativity never fade with age,” said Miranda Perez, executive director of the Morning Pointe Foundation. “We’ve watched performers step onto this stage and truly inspire the audience, whether they’ve been performing for decades or are finally sharing a hidden talent for the very first time. Chattanooga has embraced this event in such a special way, and we’re excited to welcome even more seniors to audition for our 7th year.”
In addition to entertaining the community, Morning Pointe Seniors Got Talent serves as a fundraiser for the Morning Pointe Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing senior care through scholarships, caregiver support, and educational partnerships. Funds raised through sponsorships, ticket sales, and audience participation help support local students pursuing nursing and healthcare-related education.
The Chattanooga-area schools benefiting from Foundation scholarships include Chattanooga State Community College, Tennessee College of Applied Technology Chattanooga, Dalton State College, and Cleveland State Community College.
