Bevan Dalley, Overton Nevada. Winner Against the Odds: Bevan Dalley is a barber whose tiny shop was a primary source of information for nearly every man in a small Nevada town for four decades. Bevan knew just about everything about everyone. Then one day Bevan suddenly became the news instead of the source when in the blink of an eye he cut three and half fingers off his left hand. It happened so fast Bevan said he forget to cuss. The life-altering accident could have crushed his spirit but Bevan not only carries on, his positive attitude about life is inspirational.

Linda Smith, Las Vegas, Nevada. Winning Benefactor: A one-time model and dancer, she is now Chief Development Officer of Opportunity Village, one of the nation?s leading independent charitable organizations for people with mental retardation, brain injury, and other intellectual disabilities. When Linda’s son was born with Down syndrome over 30 years ago, she decided to volunteer at Opportunity Village, a tiny charitable organization operating out of a house. Today, it offers paying work to more than 600 people with intellectual disabilities at two large campuses, thanks to Linda?s fundraising abilities and tireless efforts on their behalf. Thousands of people with intellectual disabilities and their families have better lives because of her, and she’s currently running a $35 million capital campaign to build yet another campus. Everyone from George H.W. Bush to Robin Williams to Celine Dion has visited Opportunity Village. By Rick Moore
