Our 2022 Hero is Benita Zahn!

We are thrilled to be honoring Benita who through her continued focus on HIV/AIDS-related issues has been integral to keeping this public health pandemic at the forefront.
Among her many accomplishments, Benita spent more than 40 years as a health reporter and news anchor at WNYT in Albany, NY. She has won numerous accolades for her work including International Radio and Television Awards, a NY Emmy, a NYS Broadcaster Award, and the recognition of several health organizations.
All proceeds go to the Albany Damien Center to support our many life-saving programs.
