JHF Staffer Hazell Azzer Receives 2024 Bright Young People Award

Hazell Azzer, AIDS Free Pittsburgh's Community Outreach and Engagement Coordinator, has been selected as one of Allies for Health and Wellbeing's 2024 Bright Young People. Hazell will be honored at their annual fundraising gala, the Free for All, on Friday, May 3.

The theme for the evening is "Night of a Thousand Divas: The 2024 Free for All." During the event, Allies will honor their 2024 Kerry Stoner Award recipient and a constellation of Bright Young People. The Kerry Stoner Award is presented annually by Allies to someone who has shown commitment to Stoner's legacy and vision. Stoner was one of the founders of the Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force and died of complications of AIDS in 1993.

Now in its third year, Allies' Bright Young People program recognizes people who are making a real and tangible difference in our community and working toward a bright future, particularly in the realm of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Bright Young People are making their mark through their art, their careers, and their activism.

The Jewish Healthcare Foundation is pleased to support the event and to celebrate Hazell as a Bright Young Person.
