Award categories include Animal Welfare, Veterans Outreach, Environmental and Conservation, Community Services, and Search and Rescue. The Land Rover company will accept video nominations from worthy organizations that align with one of the five categories.

Land Rover Alexandria is happy to nominate To the Rescue Inc., an non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of cats and dogs from high-kill shelters across the United States. By saving animals who are next in line to be euthanized in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, West Virginia, Texas, and New York, To the Rescue Inc. works hard to save those who can't save themselves. Land Rover Alexandria supports this organization and proudly recommends them for the Defender Service Awards.
