Janine Latus, author of “If I Am Missing or Dead,” a New York Times and London Times best seller is featured speaker Pepsi to receive The Family Place Advocacy Award The Family Place Announces Three New Awards: The Family Place Advocacy Award, Emily Santillan, Texas Trailblazer Awards luncheon coordinator, announced three new awards which will be presented at the Texas Trailblazer Awards luncheon on August 20th at the Frontiers of Flight Museum. New this year, men and students will be honored who have stood up in the face of adversity to champion violence-free relationships among their peers and community. In addition, a company will be recognized who has supported the mission of The Family Place in the community and within their own organization. The Family Place Man of Influence Award recognizes a North Texan who is leading by example to make domestic violence a “community issue” rather than a “women’s issue.” Through his lifestyle, he is setting a standard of compassion, support and commitment that promotes healthy relationships. The Family Place Advocacy Award recognizes an organization that has played a vital role in furthering the mission of The Family Place to stop the suffering of women and children victims of family violence in North Texas. By providing generous financial and volunteer support and promoting awareness with employees, associates and peers, the Advocacy Award recipient is a strong voice speaking out for victims of family violence to improve our community’s response to their critical needs. We are proud to announce that Pepsi is the recipient of this year’s award. Pepsi has consistently supported The Family Place for the past 16 years through volunteers, in-kind donations and more than $700,000 in financial contributions. The Texas Trailblazer Award recognizes a local woman who has achieved significant success despite the obstacles she has faced along the way. She is a woman who has accomplished a "first" and opened the doors of opportunity for other women. She has made significant contributions either in her community, business or profession. No matter what her accomplishments, however, she is a woman who has blazed a trail for others to follow. Luncheon chairs are Carole and Scott Murray and Honorary Chairs are Mayor Tom Leppert and his wife, Laura.
