PITTSBURGH (January 19, 2026) – McAuley Ministries, the grant-making foundation of Pittsburgh Mercy, is proud to announce the recipients of the 2025 Sister Susan Welsh Good Neighbor Award: Erikka B. Grayson and Belinda “Ms. Bee” Upsher.

Established in 2019, the award honors residents of Pittsburgh’s Hill District, Uptown, and West Oakland, the three communities historically served by the Sisters of Mercy and now envisioned as the Mercy Corridor. The award recognizes individuals who exemplify what it means to be a “good neighbor” through volunteerism, community organizing, and acts of kindness. Each year, two honorees are selected – one young adult (ages 18-39) and one adult (ages 40 and over) [read full release].
