THE HENRY’S FORK FOUNDATION NAMED FINALIST IN THE SECOND ANNUAL LAND ROVER ‘DEFENDER SERVICE AWARDS”, WHICH HONORS ORGANIZATIONS MAKING AN IMPACT WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
Henry’s Fork Foundation was named a finalist among Environmental and Conservation organizations in the Land Rover ‘Defender Service Awards’. The Ashton, ID charitable organization was recognized for its work in science-based, collaborative conservation of the fisheries and water resources of the Henry’s Fork and South Fork Snake River watersheds. As a finalist, Henry’s Fork Foundation will receive $5,000 from the presenting sponsor, CHASE.
Inspired by endless acts of service across the U.S. and Canada from extraordinary citizens, Land Rover launched the ‘Defender Service Awards’ last year to celebrate U.S. and Canadian-based charitable organizations that are making a positive impact in their local community. To honor the legacy of Defender vehicles aiding organizations who serve their communities, Land Rover will award a specially outfitted Land Rover Defender 130 SUV to the five winning organizations based on Public Vote, to help further their charitable efforts, plus $25,000 from the category sponsor.
Public voting opens October 21, 2022, through November 6, 2022 on LandRoverUSA.com. The winners for all five categories will be announced on November 12, at Destination Defender, a weekend celebration of the Defender lifestyle located in the New York Hudson Valley.
