4 5 From its genesis in 1980 at the hands of two determined women, retired social worker Elizabeth Bacon and then law student Kathryn Ashworth, Esq., Voices for Children has evolved to be a powerhouse organization that has provided advocacy for more than 100,000 children in the foster care system in San Diego and Riverside Counties. By activating court-appointed special advocates, or CASAs, to offer support, companionship, guidance, and hope, Voices for Children speaks up for children when they need it most. If you take a moment to chat with a CASA volunteer, it's quickly apparent that the responsibility is also a privilege, enriching the lives of both advocate and child. "e reinforcement that you get not only from your child, but from the team who wants to have such a good outcome and acknowledges that you play a vital role in that outcome is so rewarding, and was something that I did not expect," a CASA told us in 2017. Ashworth, Voices for Children's trailblazing co-founder and longest- serving volunteer, was honored with the inaugural CASA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2024. speakupnow.org DEANNA MURPHY 5 0 is year marks a milestone 50 years for Hoehn Motors, a trusted name synonymous with integrity, innovation, and exceptional service in San Diego's North County. e Hoehn family's automotive legacy began nearly a century ago, when T.W. Hoehn founded Hoehn Chevrolet in Memphis in 1938. His son, T.W. Hoehn Jr., expanded the business nationwide before settling in La Jolla. In 1975, recognizing the promise of the growing North County region, he purchased Brooking Oldsmobile- Honda-Mercedes in what would become Car Country Carlsbad — one of the first auto malls in the nation. Over the past five decades, the Hoehn family has built upon that foundation of excellence, growing with the community and earning a reputation for quality, trust, and family-driven values. Today, the Hoehn Family of Dealerships represents seven world- class brands in Carlsbad — Audi, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Sprinter — along with a second Audi dealership in Temecula. Now led by brothers Bill Hoehn and Bob Hoehn and their children, Ted, Adrienne, Jo Hannah, and Susanah, the family continues to uphold the tradition of customer care and community commitment that has defined the Hoehn name for generations. hoehnmotors.com MIA PARK ranchandcoast.com 50 NOVEMBER 2025 RANCH & COAST MAGAZINE Hoehn Motors Voices for Children's historic first graduating class VFC: PHOTO COURTESY OF VOICES FOR CHILDREN HOEHN MOTORS: PHOTO BY VINCENT KNAKAL
