===Hill House honors Elsie Hillman===
:December 11, 2008, By Mark Belko, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The Hill House Association will rename the Kaufmann Center Auditorium after philanthropist and political leader Elsie Hillman.
The association announced the decision at a press conference in December 2008. The renaming coincides with the launch of the public phase of a $12.5 million Hill House capital and endowment campaign. The Hill House already has raised $8.1 million.
Of the $12.5 million, $3 million would go to renovate the auditorium, providing state of the art acoustics and expanding its capacity.
Mrs. Hillman was one of the Hill House's founders and has been active in the organization for the last 45 years.
"Mrs. Hillman has been a dear friend to the agency and this community. She has impacted the lives of thousands in ways that often go unmentioned," Hill House President Evan Frazier said.
Mrs. Hilman called the honor a "dream come true."
She said she was grateful to be part of an organization that has served so many people over so many years.
"To be part of the soul of the community ... It makes it even more special for me," she said.
