Project Pride is introducing an annual award ceremony celebrating a local legend whose work has made a lasting impact on our community. The Community Proud Award will be presented each year to honor an individual whose legacy reflects leadership, cultural influence, and community pride.
Join us for Project Pride's Annual Community Proud Award as we honor the extraordinary 41-year legacy of Jay Handelman. A devoted champion of the arts and a master of cultural storytelling, Jay has spent decades illuminating the voices that define our region.
✨ Variety show by Carolyn Michel! ✨
