Craig Koch
Founder & CEO, WAG-A-LOT
I am in awe of LifeLine’s proactive, lifesaving work and honored to have been associated with them for the past 20 years. Their game-changing efforts have not only dramatically reduced the homeless pet population, but they have also changed the psyche of Atlantans to adopt, not shop, and have inspired countless other organizations and individuals to join their mission. I am so excited to be a part of an event highlighting the efforts of LifeLine and other “good humans.” I truly believe every pet has the right to WAG-A-LOT!
Vern Yip
HGTV + TLC Designer and Host
For many of us, our pets are also valued members of our family. Their immeasurable love and care are often amongst the brightest moments of our days. So, it’s nearly inconceivable that so many beautiful animals end up neglected and abandoned each year. Knowing that LifeLine Animal Project is at the frontline, with their holistic approach towards solving the crux of this crisis, renews my hope in humanity and reinvigorates my determination to do what I can to protect our furry family members everywhere.

Honoring Good Humans
Each year, the Good Human Gala recognizes outstanding leaders whose generosity and advocacy have made a meaningful difference for animals and people across our city.
Elizabeth Benator
The Philanthropist
As a member of our Board of Directors, Elizabeth has helped shape the strategic direction of the organization while championing the resources necessary to fuel its growth. Her philanthropy is not simply financial. It is thoughtful, intentional, and rooted in a deep belief that every animal deserves a chance.
Elizabeth understands that lasting impact requires both heart and investment. Through her personal support, advocacy, and ability to inspire others to give, she has strengthened LifeLine’s capacity to serve more animals, expand programs, and move closer to a future where lifesaving is the standard.
Her leadership reminds us that meaningful change happens when generosity meets vision.
We are proud to honor Elizabeth with the Philanthropist Award in recognition of her transformative generosity and steadfast leadership in support of LifeLine Animal Project.
Andrea Seidl
The Change Maker
Andrea Seidl is a dedicated volunteer and respected leader within the DeKalb County Animal Services community, operated by LifeLine Animal Project. Through her leadership and unwavering commitment, she has strengthened and elevated the volunteer program in meaningful ways.
Andrea leads Pawparazzi efforts to help animals gain visibility and find loving homes, mentors new volunteers, and supports outreach through the Advocates for DeKalb Animals platform. Her work reflects both heart and action.
In recognition of her extraordinary impact and commitment to lifesaving, we are honored to present Andrea with the Changemaker Award.
