A Very Special Thanks for the Awards
from the Following Foundations
(All our efforts do not go unnoticed!)

"2000 Rudy Award"

Only 5 Rudy Awards were given
throughout the United States
in the year 2000.

The "Rudy Award" is taken from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and is a symbol of the beacon of light that folks such as Brenda Pearson and the SPCA represent to the communities in which we live. This prestigious award acknowledges their determination to make a difference, unselfishness, and ability to cut through the fog and get the job done.
 

The Janet L. Reid Grant Award

The Community Foundation for Muskegon County was created in 1961 to improve the quality of life for Muskegon County residents. A publicly supported community endowment, The Foundation receives and manages contributions from thousands of community citizens and organizations who are committed to the future of Muskegon County.

This program is made possible in part by a grant from the Janet L. Reid Fund of the Community Foundation for Muskegon County.
