Paul & Paula Murphy Human Rights Award

The Paul & Paula Murphy Human Rights Award celebrates courageous individuals and organizations dedicated to advancing equality, equity, and justice. Established through a generous bequest and reimagined in 2025, this prestigious honor recognizes trailblazers who tirelessly advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, champion the rights of those living with HIV and AIDS, and actively promote racial justice. By honoring these fierce advocates, the Center for Health and Hope highlights the vital work of creating a truly inclusive society where every person is treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
