Kim Pearson, Executive Director of TransYouth Family Allies (TYFA), was awarded the prestigious Vanguard Award Tuesday night in recognition of her work on behalf of gender-variant youth and their families.

Kim Pearson accepted the award Tuesday night, and said,  "I am thrilled and honored to receive this award. Since our founding in 2006, TYFA has seen significant improvements in attitudes and accommodations for gender-variant and gender-questioning youth. Recognition like the Vanguard Award inspires me and the organization I lead to keep that momentum going."
