Friend of the Foundation Award

Over the years, OCUF has recognized individuals and organizations who have contributed significantly to our Foundation.

An award is not necessarily given each year. The recipients join a list of very impressive contributors to the Foundation. Our first award was presented in 1992, and since then we have made 44 appointments. We have awarded 10 Friend of the Foundation awards to organizations, and 34 to individuals
