Lesniak Award

Received from The Lesniak Institute for American Leadership:

Good afternoon, Bill and Kizmin, I hope this message finds you well. Since its creation, the Lesniak Institute’s Annual Gala has been a time to reconnect with friends, supporters, and advocates from across the country. Each year, we make it a priority to recognize and celebrate trailblazing advocates who embody the essence of effective advocacy.

This year, our Gala will highlight one of our core causes—Animal Welfare. With that in mind, I am honored to formally nominate you and Kizmin and your organization “Tigers in America” for The WILDLIFE CHAMPION award in recognition of your outstanding contributions to this cause. The award will be presented at our Gala on June 19th at the Kean University STEM Building.

Once again, we sincerely appreciate the work you have done and continue to do on behalf of animals everywhere. Thank you for being a voice for the voiceless—we hope to celebrate with you at our Gala!

Best regards, Ray Lesniak
