This unforgettable event celebrated the voices of young people who stutter, featuring inspiring performances, a seated dinner, and a powerful tribute to this year’s honorees—individuals whose leadership and advocacy are helping to uplift and empower young people who stutter.    

This year, SAY honored Richard Kind, an award-winning actor known for his beloved roles on stage and screen whose four decades-long career has captured hearts in film, television, and Broadway; Tom Kitt, the Pulitzer, Tony, Emmy, and Grammy-winning composer whose work has transformed the stage; and Shachar G. Scott, a global marketing force behind companies like Meta, Bumble, Snapchat, and Apple, and a longtime SAY Board Member.
