Past years’ award recipients have included Dynamite Roasting Company, Eaton Corporation, and Western North Carolina Veterans Affairs Health Care System; each initiated voluntary efforts that improved air quality in the Asheville-Buncombe County Area.
Award guidelines explain the criteria for the awards and different categories of awards apply to different types of permitted facilities, organizations, and individuals that would like to nominate themselves or another entity for consideration.

We ask that nominations be submitted to our Agency by April 12, 2024. We encourage you to submit any and all efforts your company (or another company or organization) has undertaken to reduce emissions.

– Blue Ridge Humane Society (BRHS) invites the community to
participate in Paws for a Purpose, a signature fundraising weekend bringing together local businesses
and individuals to raise awareness and funds to support their mission of ensuring the highest quality of
life for animals in Henderson County and surrounding communities.
Local businesses are encouraged to host fundraisers throughout the weekend, and can include donating
a percentage of sales, hosting a pet supply donation drive, hosting a pint night or yappy hour or creating
an individual celebration that includes a raffle or contest with proceeds benefitting BRHS. Individuals are
also encouraged to host parties with friends, neighbors or co-workers. Parties can be at their favorite
establishment, a neighborhood clubhouse or at the office and can include sit-down dinners, block
parties, or pet supply drives, for example.
“This signature fundraising event has become a community favorite over the last four years because of
its creative and inclusive nature,” said BRHS Executive Director Angela Prodrick. “Individuals and
businesses empower others to contribute as much or as little as they desire in the course of one
weekend, and these collective efforts amount to a significant impact for our organization. Together, we
can save local animals in our neighborhoods by supporting small, locally owned businesses.”
If you would like to host an event, visit https://www.blueridgehumane.org/get-
involved/events/pawsforapurpose/ or email BRHS Events & Business Partnerships Director Jessica
Chipriano at [email protected] for more information.
The Blue Ridge Humane Society, Inc., is a 501(c)3 animal welfare organization started in 1950 and

clinics, animal education programs, pet training classes, and youth education and projects; coordinates
community pet food assistance, emergency vet assistance, and the Spay Neuter Incentive Program
(SNIP), which is a collaboration with Henderson County, the City of Hendersonville, and the Henderson
County Animal Services Center.
Individuals, groups, and businesses are invited to honor a loved one or show your commitment to environmental stewardship by sponsoring a tree for the Sand Hill community orchard. This April, join others from the community in celebrating Arbor Day by helping GreenWorks plant additional native fruit trees in the space.

The Collider presents a one and a half-day workshop designed to equip business leaders and managers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the rapidly-developing discipline of climate adaptation.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity for leaders, executives, and professionals to engage with leading climate and industry experts to:
- Understand emerging environmental impacts, changing legislation, and reporting and disclosure requirements
- Develop and integrate critical climate transition strategies into business models
- Engage with employees and stakeholder to build and sustain organizational resilience
Overview:
Businesses across sectors face an array of challenges that necessitate a proactive approach to climate adaptation. From the retail industry to manufacturing, healthcare, and beyond, the impacts of climate change pose multifaceted threats that demand immediate attention and strategies for building near and long term resilience. With less unpredictable and extreme weather events becoming more frequent, business leaders need information, tools, and tactics to address disruptions to existing supply chains, infrastructure, and daily operations.
These challenges underscore the relevance and urgency of climate adaptation for businesses of all sizes, across sectors, and at every level of the value chain. The ability to anticipate, plan for, and adapt to these challenges is not only a matter of survival but also a strategic imperative. Forward-thinking businesses recognize that resilience in the face of climate change is a key driver of long-term success. Through collaborative efforts, innovative solutions, and a commitment to sustainability, businesses can not only weather the storm of climate challenges but also emerge as leaders in a rapidly changing world.
Participants of this two-day, immersive workshop can expect:
Intensive Interaction, Tailored Learning, and Directed and Relevant Crafted Content.
Agenda Overview:
- Day 1: Understanding Climate Adaptation (9:00a to 5:00p)
- Day 2: Implementing Adaptation (9:00a to 12:30p)
