On June 21, 2019, PVM communities from across Michigan converged in Novi at the Suburban Collection Showplace, Diamond Banquet & Conference Center for the 14^th Annual Village Victory Cup. Supported by an army of volunteers, hundreds of residents competed in a variety of events that challenge body, mind, and spirit to win the coveted Village Victory Cup trophy for their community.

Residents earned points for their community by supporting their team, participating in events, and finishing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in an event. At the end of the day, the community that earned the most points wins the trophy—and a year’s worth of bragging rights!

Throughout the competition you saw residents—proudly decked out in their team colors—singing fight songs and leading cheers all in an effort to win the much sought-after Spirit Award. The Spirit Award is presented to the community that expresses the most team spirit throughout the Village Victory Cup. It’s a highly valued prize! This year that team was Detroit’s formidable The Village of Oakman Manor who has now won it consecutively for 2018 and 2019!

Made possible through a collaboration between PVM and Focus: HOPE, The Village of Oakman Manor offers affordable senior living in the heart of the city. With plenty of great on-site amenities like a fitness center, library/computer room, mini theater, beauty shop, and transportation, residents of Oakman Manor enjoy maintenance-free living in the comfort of private one-bedroom apartments with fully equipped kitchens and wall-to-wall carpet. Located adjacent to the Focus:HOPE Detroit campus, Oakman Manor is an active, engaging, and vibrant community, our residents are proud to call it home.
