Meanwhile, Emmy-nominated “Palm Royale” and “Full House” star Stamos is being recognized for serving as a Childhelp ambassador and creating the St. Amos jewelry collection, which supports programs helping survivors of child abuse.
Additional honorees include “The Pitt” writer and executive producer Simran Baidwan, “Stranger Things” and “Mad Men” actor Cara Buono, “Abbott Elementary” star Lisa Ann Walter and “The Ms. Pat Show” director and executive producer Mary Lou Belli.
