11th Annual My Hero Awards

On September 16, 2014, the 11th Annual My Hero Awards ceremony was held by Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth. This event is an annual celebration honoring lawyers, judges, law firms, and businesses who have demonstrated a commitment to community service and mentoring. The chair of this year’s event was our very own, Autumn L. Sharp. Autumn is also a past recipient of a My Hero Award (2011) in recognition for her work with Cabrini Connections as a mentor/tutor.

The audience gathered to honor the success of this year’s honorees and included many heroes, including celebrated broadcaster and author Merri Dee, along with lawyers, federal and state court judges and other prominent Chicagoans who have all served as mentors and inspirations to youth throughout the metropolitan area.

Carlson Dash would like to congratulate this year’s My Hero Award recipients:

  • Steve J. Gavin – Making a Difference Award
