Hogan Foundation Announces Lifeline 4 Paws Award

The Hogan Family Foundation has announced the creation of its Lifeline 4 Paws Award program that will recognize and thank some of its many neighbors in Southern California who have demonstrated extraordinary acts of kindness toward dogs during the year.

Christine Hogan, executive vice president of The Hogan Family Foundation, explains, “The Lifeline 4 Paws Award will be granted to individuals based on their commitment, compassion, and courage in going above and beyond in lifesaving or other difficult circumstances to help dogs throughout the area.”

All applications for the Lifeline 4 Paws Award will be reviewed by a select panel, including Foundation executives and Ranger Kevin Smith of the Conejo Recreation & Park District, Denis Rosen, director of the Agoura Animal Shelter, and Beth Baden from the City of Thousand Oaks Planning Department.

The award will consist of a commemorative plaque acknowledging the recipient and a $500 donation given to the animal related charity of the winner’s choice. Lifeline 4 Paws awards will be given throughout the year, as determined by the panel. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year, with a final deadline of Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2008.
