Chattanooga’s Hero in the Race for Recognition | Chattanooga News

Chattanooga’s own Jim Osborn, co-founder and medical director of the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer, is one of four national finalists for NASCAR’s prestigious Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award — and he’s the first from Chattanooga to make it this far. This award, decided entirely by public vote, comes with a $100,000 donation to the winner’s organization. Founded in 2006 after the tragic loss of their infant son Austin to cancer, Jim and his wife Amy Jo turned grief into purpose, building a foundation that now supports countless families facing pediatric cancer. Now, Chattanooga has a chance to bring this national honor and life-changing funding home — and you can help by voting at NASCARfoundation.org/Award before September 6. This isn’t just an award — it’s a community-powered opportunity to amplify real, lifesaving impact right here in town.
