Kean Honors Local Seniors with Annual Seniors of Distinction Event

(November 10, 2025) BRIDGEWATER, NJ - Today, Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07) hosted his third annual Seniors of Distinction event at the Bridgewater Township Senior Center to honor outstanding seniors in the community.

This year, Congressman Kean recognized 33 seniors representing all six counties within New Jersey's Seventh Congressional District. Each honoree was nominated by their friends, families, or local officials in recognition of their exceptional service and dedication to others. The Seniors of Distinction were selected for their long history of giving back to their communities and for their ongoing commitment to philanthropic, charitable, and spiritual activities locally and even, statewide.

"Our 2025 Seniors of Distinction represent the very best of our communities," said Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. "Each honoree has dedicated their time, talents, and compassion to uplifting New Jersey's Seventh Congressional District. Whether through leadership, volunteerism, or simple acts of kindness, they all share the same spirit of generosity and an unwavering commitment to serve others. I am honored to recognize these remarkable individuals and thank them for all they do to keep our communities strong, connected, and vibrant."

"Bridgewater was proud to host Congressman Tom Kean's 'Seniors of Distinction' event right here at our Senior Center," said Bridgewater Mayor Matthew Moench. "It was an honor to welcome so many inspiring residents from across the district and to celebrate the remarkable contributions our seniors continue to make in their communities every day."

"Thank you, Congressman Kean, for the honor of being considered as a Senior of Distinction," said Paul Corcoran of Sparta. "It is an honor to be able to represent all the other seniors that are of distinction as well in our communities. I love the program, and I hope it continues and that others are inspired by the respective seniors that are here."

"I am honored that the Borough thought I was a Senior of Distinction," said Patricia Serrano of Mendham Borough. "I have enjoyed everything I have done for the past 60 years living there. Today, I would like to thank Representative Kean for having this ceremony and honoring the seniors."
