Jud/ Shepard and
the Matthew Shepard
Foundation to honor
Governor Roberts and
Dorcelle
By RYAN J. PRADO
Walter Presents...
For the past decade, the Matthew
I Shepard Foundation has promoted the
; awareness of discrimination based on
| sexual orientation or gender through its
j mantra of replacing hate with understand-
| ing, compassion, and acceptance. Under
; the watchful helm of Matthews parents
j Judy and Dennis Shepard, the foundation
\ has instituted and supported diversity
j programs in education and to help youth
organizations with efforts like the Equal-
j t ity Initiative, Youth First Initiative, and the
| Erase Hate Initiative.
Just last October 22, Judy and Dennis
flanked President Barack Obama, along
j with the family of James Byrd, Jr., when the
; passage of the Matthew Shepard and James
j Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act ^as
j signed into law.
Judy has stepped down from her role as
j executive director of MSF, taking on the
j chair of the foundations governing board,
| and has been criss-crossing the country
j promoting her book The Meaning o f M at-
I theuo, as well as appearing at various col-
j leges and high school campuses.
On Monday, March 29, Judy will attend
the “Bear to Make a Difference” Celebrity
Teddy Bear Auction and Reception, held
at Wilfs Restaurant and Bar. The auction
will include celebrity-donated, custom-de­
signed and autographed teddy bears from
the likes of Meryl Streep and Carol Bur­
nett, and from local personalities including
