Congratulations to the 2013 Purpose Prize Winners! The seven inspirational purpose prize winners this year each demonstrate how they use their wisdom and experience to make a difference in the lives of others. Health, veteran support, and parenting behind bars are some of passions of these inspirational elders. They are role models for us all.
Marika and Howard Stone, founders of 2Young2Retire, are past winners of the Purpose Prize. We appreciate the service of all of the purpose prize winners and the many other elders who are Too Young To Retire® and are focused on improving their communities and the world.

Peter Rosten, from Darby, MT, is one of 2013 Purpose Prize fellows and wrote to me as a result of my earlier blog post. Peter received the fellowship because of his work as the Founder and President of MAPS: Media Arts in the Public School. MAPS brings arts and science education to rural middle and high school students, promoting creativity and launching careers.
