In all the years of her career, Allison Rosati has accumulated praise and admiration for her work and contributions. She was fortunate to earn many awards. In 2000, Allison won an Emmy Award for her work on the one shot special NBC 5 Presents: Millennium 2000. In 2001, the Italian American Police Association named Allison the Woman Of The Year. In that same year, the Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans gave her the Dante Award. In 2002, she proudly accepted an award given to her by a humanitarian organization. The award was the Department of Health and Human Services Adoption Excellence Award. Her special, Survive Alive earned her a National Emmy.

Allison seemed to savor her humanitarian awards more than her broadcasting awards. One of her treasured moments is when she was named Humanitarian of the Year by the Italian American Police Association in 2004. In 2005, the Italian American Chamber of Commerce Midwest Chapter gave her the title of Media Person of the Year. Allison didn’t just earn awards in one period of her life, she even earned awards during her recent career. In 2012, she won the Woman of the Year award, which was given to her by Casa Italia Chicago. The Amate House in Chicago also gave her the Mary Ellen Nolan Guardian Angel Award.

Volunteering

Allison dedicates her time to help nonprofit organizations. In 2006, she was part of the director’s board for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America. Allison helps as a volunteer for many nonprofit organizations such as The Greater Chicago Food Depository, the Infant Welfare Society, the Amate House, the March of Dimes, the Ronald McDonald House, and the Children’s Home Aid.

Allison has always been a champion of the people. She uses her financial resources and visible platform to push for causes that she believes in. Most news anchors can go home and enjoy the fame and fortune they made without thinking about anyone else. Allison is different because she uses her platform to speak for the people who need help. She does so much for others that she has been recognized time and time again for her humanitarian efforts.

Personal Life

Allison currently lives in the western suburbs of Burr Ridge, Illinois with her husband, Lee Dennis. The two got married in March of 1993. The loving couple have four children together.
