Ellen

The Trevor Project is honoring Ellen DeGeneres with its prestigious Trevor Life Award at its December Cracked Xmas Event in Los Angeles.

The Trevor Project, a nonprofit that operates a suicide prevention hotline for queer teenagers, is giving DeGeneres its Trevor Life Award for her participation in the Academy Award-winning short film Trevor, which inspired the Trevor Project.

"Her insightful, heartfelt, and humorous words helped draw viewers to that initial broadcast, some of whom began calling the Trevor Helpline," said Charles Robbins, the Trevor Project's executive director, in a release. "Just as important, Ellen's groundbreaking career and her historic extremely public and truly courageous coming-out process continues to inspire LGBT youth and demonstrate that their lives do have value."

At Trevor's December 2 awards ceremony, the Trevor Hope Award will also be handed out--this year to media giant Clear Channel Communications Inc. (The Advocate)
