Emilio Parga, founder of The Solace Tree, has been honored with RGJ's Reno Citizen of the Year 2007. Heather and I have worked closely with Emilio on projects such as videography and photography and have long realized the amazing work he's put into his organization. The Solace Tree aims to provide grief sharing and counseling for kids and teens throughout the Reno / Tahoe area through meetings, arts, games, and outings like Camp Solace.

Congrats to Emilio on his award. Check out The Solace Tree website if you are interested in learning more about how you can be a part of organization.
