Project C.A.R.E. expanded its outreach to the Tennessee Senior Olympics. This annual event was held in Franklin, TN from July 14 - 20, 2006. Project C.A.R.E. founder, Ansley Reagan, served as a volunteer for the 10K race. The 10K race was held at the Franklin River Park on July 20th. The Tennessee Senior Olympics began in 1981 with a mission that has continued for over 25 years: to promote healthy lifestyles for senior adults through fitness, sports and an active involvement in life.

The Senior Olympics encourages older adults to stay active and gives them a reason to renew past skills or learn new ones. According to Ansley, her goal is to increase the number of volunteers that support the Tennessee Senior Olympics! The year's state finals will take place in Williamson County on July 20-26, 2007.
