Help the Animals Win a Defender!
Charleston Animal Society is a finalist to win a 2024 Land Rover Defender to help transport animals.
For the second year in a row, Charleston Animal Society is a national finalist in the Land Rover “Defender Service Awards.” The awards honor nonprofits making an impact in their communities. The organization was recognized for its lifesaving work that touches the lives of more than 15,000 animals each year. As a finalist, Charleston Animal Society could win a new Land Rover Defender for the organization’s animal disaster response efforts.
WHAT ARE THE DEFENDER SERVICE AWARDS
Inspired by endless acts of service across the U.S. and Canada from extraordinary citizens, Land Rover launched the ‘Defender Service Awards’ last year to celebrate U.S. and Canadian-based charitable organizations that are making a positive impact in their local community. To honor the legacy of Defender vehicles aiding organizations who serve their communities, Land Rover will award a specially outfitted Land Rover Defender 130 SUV to the five winning organizations based on Public Vote, to help further their charitable efforts, plus $25,000 from the category sponsor.
