2025 Annual Gala

A Night to Remember: SSA’s 2025 Annual Gala

On Saturday, March 29, 2025, Senior Services of Alexandria hosted its Annual Gala at the Westin Alexandria Old Town — and what a night it was!

The evening was filled with incredible energy as Alexandria City officials, community leaders, and supporters from across the region came together to celebrate SSA’s mission and the impact we continue to make in the lives of older adults. Guests enjoyed an unforgettable night of fine dining, lively games, a buzzing live raffle, and a fabulous silent auction — all made possible thanks to our generous Presenting Sponsor, Benchmark at Alexandria.

A highlight of the night was the moving program honoring individuals who have made a lasting impact on Alexandria’s senior community. We were proud to recognize the following honorees:

Community Service Award Recipients:

Jack Fannon

Jane King

Col. Jim Paige (ret.)

Community Spirit Award Recipient:

Lucelle O’Flaherty

It was an evening full of joy, connection, and heartfelt celebration — a true reflection of Alexandria’s vibrant spirit. We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, sponsored, and supported this special night. Your generosity ensures that SSA can continue its vital work on behalf of Alexandria’s seniors.

Stay tuned for photos and stories from the event — and thank you for making the 2025 Gala our biggest yet and truly one for the books!
