This award is named after Tod J. LeFevre, a longtime resident of Hood River and a true champion of sustainability. LeFevre died on March 7, 2011, when his long struggle with pulmonary fibrosis ended before donor lungs could be found. Among many other things, LeFevre was a civil engineer, a mountaineer, skier, adventurer, innovator and teacher. He launched a solar engineering and installation firm, Common Energy, which is now owned by his wife Marti and Scott Sorensen.
Tod and Marti have two children, Cassell and Sutton Bell. This award honors Tod and his humble determination to make this community and world a better place.
