The Mary McGrory Advocacy Award
The Mary McGrory Advocacy Award was inaugurated at our 150th Anniversary Gala in honor of its namesake, a passionate advocate and dear friend to St. Ann’s, whom our children lovingly called “Mary Gloria.” This award recognizes individuals whose work brings attention to the needs of our community’s voiceless: homeless and vulnerable youth and young mothers.
Social workers confront some of the most challenging issues facing individuals, families, communities, and society and provide solutions that help people reach their full potential.
