H.U.F. Awards
The H.U.F. (Honoring Unsung Fathers) Awards is a special Father’s Day annual event, created and hosted by Judge Mablean Ephriam. Judge Mablean believes in the sanctity of marriage and parenthood. Issues surrounding family, especially the presence of a strong, loving and hard working father is very dear to Judge Mablean. She strongly believes that the positive interaction between a supportive caring father and his child(ren) ,nurtures the inner spirit and paves the way toward healthy adulthood and a better society.
The mission of the Awards is to identify and recognize fathers who play a vital role in the development of their child(ren)’s lives.
The purpose is to reach out to families and communities to celebrate fathers and make Father’s Day as special as Mother’s Day; to encourage and promote positive fatherhood by spotlighting fathers who accept their role and responsibility and do it well.
