Mazel Tov to Brady Solomon for being named one of Jewish Atlanta’s 18 Under 18 for 2024.
Brady Solomon, 16
Son of Helayne Solomon and Brian Solomon
Chamblee High School
As a teenager with Type 1 Diabetes, Brady has become a role model for others with the condition, acting as a Youth Ambassador for Breakthrough T1D and becoming a counselor in Training for Camp Kudzu, a camp for kids with T1D. His essay on the subject for the PTA Reflection Contest, urging others with T1D to strive for positivity and self-advocacy, won first place on both the school and regional levels. As a student-athlete, Brady’s primary love is baseball, which he has played on the Varsity team for Chamblee High School, and the travel team for 25/8 Kings – he’s also won his school’s Bulldog Award for positivity and leadership in the sport. He’s involved in basketball, playing 3v3 several of the past years for Save a Child’s Heart, and volunteering as a youth basketball coach for the All Saints Catholic Church basketball program. He has played on teams in both sports for the Maccabi Games.
