What began as an idea by then-
Glenrose volunteer Manny Kassam has 
grown into an annual tradition spanning 
two decades: the Courage Awards. 
On Tuesday, November 4, 2025,  the 
Courage Awards presented by James 
H. Brown Injury Lawyers returned to the 
Dr. Bill Black Auditorium at the Glenrose 
Rehabilitation Hospital, bringing together 
over 100 donors, staff, and friends 
and family members to celebrate 
four recipients: Annaliese Siverns, Eric 
Abrahamson, and Jamal Daahir and his 
mother, Judith Haughton. 
Over the years, the Courage Awards have 
recognized dozens of Glenrose patients 
and caregivers whose stories reflect the 
determination, resilience, and spirit at the 
heart of rehabilitation.
