Comedian to receive St. Barnabas award

St. Barnabas Charities will honor Jimmy Failla at its annual St. Barnabas Founder’s Day Celebration, which is scheduled for Wednesday, April 16, at the Pittsburgh Marriott North in Cranberry Township.

Failla will receive the 2025 St. Barnabas Hance Award, which is named in honor of founder Gouverneur Hance, who was inspired to provide medical care for poverty stricken and chronically ill and injured men and boys in 1900.

The Hance Award is presented to a person of national acclaim who exemplifies Hance’s ideals of benevolence, patriotism and service to others, according to a news release from St. Barnabas.

The event begins at 5:30 p.m. with a cocktail reception, auction and raffles — followed by a dinner celebration. A VIP photo pass and book signing is also available to guests.

Following the award presentation, Failla will deliver a speech.

Tickets range from $300 to $500. For event tickets, call 724-625-3770 or visit stbarnabashealthsystem.com/founders-day. Proceeds benefit the St. Barnabas Free Care Fund, which supports elderly patients and residents who cannot afford their care.
