SAN FRANCISCO – Nov 13, 2025 – The San Francisco Press Club announced today that HRC Fertility has again joined as a breakthrough-level sponsor for the organization’s 48th Annual Greater Bay Area Journalism Awards.
The awards gala will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 9, 2025, at the Julia Morgan Ballroom in downtown San Francisco, where more than 300 journalists, media professionals and industry leaders will gather to celebrate excellence in Bay Area journalism.
HRC Fertility’s administrative President, Kerry Ayazi, shares: “HRC Fertility is honored to once again sponsor the San Francisco Press Club awards program. The Bay Area press are partners in bringing awareness to key updates for reproductive health and continue to cover IVF and fertility news and milestones– including the groundbreaking and imminently effective SB 729, which will provide many Californians with some measure of IVF insurance coverage for the first time. We’re privileged to share in the celebration of Bay Area journalism and press in 2025.”
HRC Fertility currently has 14 offices across the state of California, and a Las Vegas clinic opening in 2026. HRC Fertility’s San Francisco physician Dr. Kay Waud and Silicon Valley area physician Dr. Christo Zouves are excited to show their support for their local journalistic partners at this event. Dr. Arian Khorshid (Silicon Valley area office) and Dr. Howard Li (San Francisco office), who will be joining HRC Fertility in 2026, will also attend and are similarly looking forward to supporting the best of bay area journalism.
The December ceremony will recognize winners from the Press Club’s annual journalism contest, which received a record-breaking 910 entries this year. The gala honors outstanding work across categories including breaking news, investigative reporting, feature writing, photography and digital media innovation. Guests will enjoy a time to meet and greet through the red-carpet cocktail hour, followed by a three-course gourmet meal with wine service and panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline.
“We’re thrilled to again welcome HRC Fertility as a breakthrough-level sponsor,” said Curtis Sparrer, president of the San Francisco Press Club and principal of Bospar. “Their dedication to supporting families and communities aligns perfectly with our mission to celebrate and uplift journalism that makes a difference in people’s lives.”
