CORE Realty Holdings' Colvin Receives Inspiration Award from Actor Hugh O'Brian's Youth Foundation - "HOBY".

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Actor and civic leader Hugh O'Brian and Javier La Fianza, President of the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership organization recently presented CORE Realty Holdings President and Chief Executive Officer Russ Colvin with the 2007 "HOBY Inspiration Award" at a dinner gala at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The event was the Albert Schweitzer Leadership Awards Dinner held annually for the past 50 years after an inspirational and life altering series of meetings over a nine-day period in Africa between O'Brian and the late activist and humanitarian in the mid-1950s.

"Russ is someone who truly has espoused our credo to 'Empower, Lead, Excel' throughout the community over many, many years," La Fianza said in making the presentation with O'Brian.

In addition, Colvin received the award for his spirited fund raising and community outreach efforts on behalf of HOBY's work to bring more than 8,500 tenth graders to one of foundation's international leadership seminars.

HOBY's charter is to develop and motivate great leaders of the future. The seminars strive to bring out the qualities in young adults that will lead to commitments to make changes for the better in the world around them by thinking creatively and independently.

In 2006, students attended Spring Leadership Development Seminars in all 50 states and seven countries. In addition, 400 students from 20 countries came to the World Leadership Congress in Washington, D.C. More than 4,000 volunteers were involved in these efforts.

In all, there are more than 355,000 HOBY alumni around the globe. O'Brian pointed out at the awards dinner that every seminar attendee has graduated from high school with the vast majority going on to college.

Also receiving awards were: Albert Schweitzer Leadership Award, Mark Pigott, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PACCAR Inc.; HOBY Corporate Citizen Award, City National Bank, accepted by George Benter, Vice Chairman of the bank; and another Inspiration Award to Dr. Mark W. Dundee, Managing Director of Global Compliance for Buck Consultants.

O'Brian is best known as the frontier lawman in the top-rated Western "Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" on ABC from 1955-61. However, he is also noted for his Broadway career in such hits as "Destry Rides Again", "First Love" and the revival of "Guys and Dolls". He has continued as a guest star on many television and radio programs over the years.

Dr. Albert Schweitzer received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953 for his life-long work as a medical missionary primarily in what was known in the early 1900s as French Equatorial Africa. He founded his hospital at Lambarene in 1914. Except for relatively short periods, he spent from 1924 to 1965 there providing spiritual and medical leadership. By the early 1960s, his lecturing and fund-raising expanded the clinic to 70 buildings, providing services for more than 500 residents at a time.

In addition to the HOBY award, Colvin last year received the "Jack Webb Award" by the Los Angeles Police Historical Society for his service to law enforcement and youth.

He is also active in many other community services associations: a life member of the Orange Country Sheriff's Advisory Council; a member of the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles Country Sheriff's Youth Foundation, and Chairman of the Development Committee; a member of the Board of the Los Angeles Police Foundation, and Chairman of the Development Committee ; a member of the Board of the Los Angeles Police Historical Society; and a member of the Board of Directors of Olive Crest Homes and Services for Abused Children.
