Nine PBS honored Harvey and Judy Harris for their philanthropy, service to the St. Louis community, and generous support of Nine PBS with the 2022 Jack Galmiche Pioneer Spirit Award at its Midsummer Celebration in the Public Media Commons on June 24.
Both Harvey and Judy Harris bring a passion for giving to the St. Louis community, supporting a variety of organizations, including those with a focus on healthcare, civic development, sciences, and the arts.
Harvey Harris has given his time and talents to a host of local organizations, including Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Jewish Federation of St. Louis, St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Saint Louis Science Center, the Fabulous Fox Theatre, and others. Harvey has had a prolific law career spanning more than 50 years. He also has the distinction of being one of Nine PBS’s longest-serving board members, serving from 1994-2022, recently transitioning to emeritus board member.
Judy Harris has led successful fundraising campaigns and has been a hands-on leader throughout the community, serving the American Red Cross, the St. Louis Public Library Foundation, the Saint Louis Zoo, Dance St. Louis, and the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House, among others.
In nearly 30 years of service to Nine PBS, Harvey and Judy Harris have contributed financial resources, as well as time, expertise, and connections in the community. They’ve opened their home for events, working to expand Nine PBS's footprint in the community and strengthen the organization.
Their generous contributions helped build our home in Grand Center and they continue to support Nine PBS’s endowment to ensure Nine PBS is here for future generations.
Nine PBS congratulates Harvey and Judy’s years of dedication and support.
