The Founder's Award
The Founder's Award
In 2010 the Holiday with Heart Charity Gayla committee established the Founder's Award. This award is presented annually at the Gayla to a person or organization that has made significant contributions to this charity and others in the Northwest Ohio LGBTQ+ community.
The award was named the Founder's Award in honor of our three founders, Ed Hoffman, Dick Flock, and David Hindall.
