The Sarris family of Canonsburg will be among a group of distinguished Pittsburgh-area residents honored at the Senator John Heinz History Center’s 27th Annual History Makers Award Dinner at 6:30 p.m. May 16.
The Sarris family own Sarris Candies. The event honors exceptional individuals whose remarkable achievements, while rooted in Western Pennsylvania, extend far beyond the region.
Other honorees will include Harry D. Clark, the founding principal of the Pittsburgh High School for Performing Arts; Stanley M. Marks, chairman of the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center; and David Morehouse, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Since its inception in 1992, the History Makers Award Dinner has raised $7 million to support the Heinz History Center’s educational programs and exhibitions.
The dinner will be at the Westin Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh. More information is available at www.heinzhistorycenter.org.
