Celebrate Aging with Pride Recognition Award for EGN
By Pete Genco
Aging with Pride recognizes individuals, businesses, or groups that demonstrate a commitment to helping members of the LGBTQ+ Community, especially seniors. On October 17, 2026, AWP presented a Recognition Award to Erie Gay News (EGN) and its Board. EGN first started publishing in 1992 and has kept the LGBTQ+ Community informed ever since. Gary Snyder, President of the non-profit group, accepted the award on behalf of EGN.
