Altamont Student Ethan Hill Named Humanitarian of the Year

Altamont Student Ethan Hill Named Humanitarian of the Year
Birmingham’s Women’s Committee of 100 honored Altamont School student Ethan Hill as its
Humanitarian of the Year at its annual Awards Luncheon April 25. The latest honor for Hill adds to national accolades for Ethan’s Heart, a non-profit organization that serves much of Birmingham with the help of volunteers and donors. For six years, Hill has distributed supplies to people who have no homes and little defense against weather, thirst and hunger.
 
Last fall, Hill earned the prestigious Barron Prize, which honors outstanding young leaders nationwide who have made a significant positive impact on people, their communities and the environment. The accompanying 10,000 prize allowed Hill to outfit a trailer as a mobile store to serve his clients. A profile of Hill broadcast on The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration in November further increased awareness of his work and brought gifts of supplies from throughout the nation.
 
Hill continues to work every day to help people, and The Altamont School is proud to count him among our wonderful, community-focused student leaders!
