Cheryl Wyly Celebrates
her Mother by Presenting $200,000
to Hill County
Paw Pals
Sunday,
May 11th, is designated as Mother’s Day this year.
Across America, mothers will be honored with flowers and dinner, special
cards and gifts. An extraordinary Hill
County mother is being honored by her daughter, Cheryl Wyly in a most unique and
commendable way. Cheryl is the daughter
of Carole Huens of Whitney. While growing
up, her mother instilled in her a respect and compassion for both her fellow man
and for animals. Cheryl decided to
honor her mother by supporting Carole’s dedication to make Hill County a better
place for all residents and their four legged companions.
After completing the 40 mile route of the recent “Waggin Trail” bike ride with her
sister, Lisa Dunham, Cheryl presented Hill County Paw Pals with a generous check
of $200,000, and noted this gift was in honor of her mother and her mother’s passion
in working to bring an end to the tragedies resulting from pet overpopulation. This generous contribution culminates
the “Take the Willie Nelson Challenge” campaign instituted one year ago when Cheryl
and husband, Sam Wyly, offered to match up to $40,000 of funds raised over a one
year period. Willie Nelson personally
endorsed the campaign. Cheryl provided
an additional $160,000 in hopes of bringing to fruition the ongoing efforts of Paw
Pals to facilitate the building of an animal shelter for Hill County. For more information
