Honoring Sara Janz
Sara Janz passed away on Jan 1, 2025. She was a brilliant and beloved young woman, at the age of 29. Sara’s life was far too short, but her leadership, dedication and compassion will long be remembered by those whose lives she touched.
The daughter of retired ABC-7 traffic/feature reporter Roz Varon, Saraa followed in her mom’s footsteps with tireless efforts on behalf of the Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Sara was instrumental in founding the chapter’s Junior Board. It was Sara who recognized the need for a space where younger voices could come together to create meaningful change.
A former NATAS Chicago Scholarship recipient, her gratitude for that opportunity never wavered. She volunteered her time at countless NATAS events and was a kind and generous person who touched everyone she met with her warmth and intelligence.
