THE 19TH ANNUAL OLENDER FOUNDATION AWARDS
December, 2004 | Photo Gallery |

Headed by Jack and Lovell Olender, the Olender Foundation aims to counter poverty and violence and to promote opportunity and equal justice. The Foundation supports a wide array of local and national organizations that serve the public. Each year the Foundation honors public figures and ordinary citizens who make extraordinary contributions to society.

After reading in The Washington Post the story of Maria de Los Angeles, Mr. Olender personally invited Dr. Martinez to receive the “Generous Heart 2005 Award”, for selflessly offering his talents as a surgeon and kindness as a human, to help Maria de Los Angeles.
