This month marks the one-year anniversary of Brenneco Fire Protection?s Sprinky Award. Named after Brenneco?s own fire protection dog, this nontraditional marketing initiative has helped build clients? commitment to doing what?s right when it comes to fire protection.

The award is a new take on the traditional loyalty rewards program. Since December 2011, Brenneco?s Sprinky Award-winning clients have received recognition through an e-newsletter, press releases, social media updates, YouTube videos and blog posts produced and distributed by Brenneco Fire Protection. Many clients have also enjoyed media recognition, all of which result in the building of goodwill within the client organization and throughout the community.

?Here at Brenneco, we are all about advancing fire safety. Doing the minimum requirements is just that ? the minimum. We want to encourage our clients to continue to go the extra mile to protect their people and facility, so we instituted an award they can proudly display,? says Eric Flora, owner of Brenneco Fire Protection. ?The Sprinky Award serves as a reminder to the entire organization that they are part of a group committed to doing things right.?

The award, a handsome metal plaque engraved with the winner?s name, recognizes clients who go above and beyond to protect their organization from the threat of fire. This means the client exceeds what is expected of them as it relates to the fire code by taking special measures to ensure the safety of their clients, employees and building from fire damage.

Sprinky Award winners include the following:

Five weeks can change a life. For Doreta Strotman, those five weeks were when her husband received hospice care from Pathways Home Health & Hospice. In appreciation of the support and comfort her family received during that time, Doreta began to volunteer at Pathways. Seven years later, she has devoted almost 4,000 hours in service and helps daily in the Foundation office at Pathways.

In honor of her steadfast commitment and tireless volunteering at Pathways, Doreta will receive a special 35th Anniversary Volunteer Award from Pathways Home Health & Hospice at its signature fundraising event in October. In addition to providing administrative help at Pathways, Doreta, an accomplished musician, often plays the piano at Pathways events. Her music has greeted guests to the One from the Heart Awards Breakfast since 2005.

Doreta?s volunteer award will be presented at the One from the Heart Awards Breakfast Friday, October 5, 2012, at the Crowne Plaza Cabana Hotel in Palo Alto. The popular annual Pathways breakfast attracts more than 600 community leaders, medical professionals, philanthropists, and other hospice supporters, and has raised almost $ 4 million in support of hospice and home health services.

This year, national best-selling author and journalist Jon Katz will be the featured speaker at the Breakfast sharing endearing and funny stories about the joy and love he and his dog brought to hospice patients. Their story is told in his heart warming book, Izzy and Lenore: Two Dogs, an Unexpected Journey, and Me. Emmy, Peabody, and Murrow Award winner Rita Williams of KTVU Channel 2 is returning for her 13th year as host of the event held from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m.

Individual seats, as well as tables of 10, are available for this event. For more information about the One from the Heart Awards Breakfast, call Holly Smith at 408.773.4109 or 408.730.1200, email events@pathwayshealth.org or visit http://www.pathwayshealth.org/foundation.

Pathways Home Health & Hospice is a non-profit, community based organization celebrating its 35th anniversary. Pathways was founded in 1977 by a group of Stanford physicians who saw the community?s need for professional care at home. That year Pathways served 12 patients. Pathways now serves over 5,000 families a year in five Bay Area counties.

Pathways has been affiliated with El Camino and Sequoia Hospitals since 1986, is accredited by The Joint Commission, and is a member of the Visiting Nurses Association of America, California Hospice & Palliative Care Association, and the California Association of Health Services at Home.
