About the Program
Project Get Old is a program by Pfizer, in partnership with Indiegogo, based on the idea that age doesn’t have to dictate health. Pfizer’s goal is to showcase and garner support for as many projects as possible that improve quality of life as we age. The Get Old community will vote on which projects are the most impactful, thus making themselves a part in improving the future of aging as well. The winning project as chosen by Pfizer will ultimately receive a $50,000 grant from Pfizer and a day of support from Pfizer employees at Pfizer in New York.
