Evergreen Woods Announces 2026 Silver Pen Writing Competition Winners

At Evergreen Woods, we believe in fostering vital connections across generations and supporting the academic dreams of local Connecticut students. We are thrilled to officially announce the winners of the 2026 Silver Pen Writing Competition, a highlight of our commitment to the North Branford community.

Celebrating Academic Excellence in New Haven County

On April 11th, 2026, Evergreen Woods hosted an awards dinner to honor our two winners, along with their friends and families. Each student was presented with a monetary sum to assist with their upcoming college tuition and educational expenses at their chosen universities.

The Silver Pen Writing Competition was established in 2012 by our parent company, The Maxwell Group. The program bridges the communication gap between high school seniors in New Haven County and our senior living community Members. This year, participants submitted essays of at least 1,000 words on a topic carefully selected by a judging panel of Evergreen Woods Members.

A Decade of Giving Back to the Shoreline Community

For over ten years, the Silver Pen program has remained committed to investing in the next generation of local leaders. To date, The Maxwell Group has awarded over $500,000 in financial support to high school seniors. We are proud to continue this tradition of community engagement and academic support right here in North Branford, CT.
