| The H.U.F. (Honoring Unsung Fathers) Awards & Scholarship Brunch is a special Father’s Day [annual] event, created and hosted by Judge Mablean Ephriam. What started as an annual Mother’s Day Vs Father’s Day—“sibling rivalry” competition amongst brothers and sisters, in-laws, [some] nieces and nephews; later on transcending into an intimate jazz brunch for fathers only hosted by Judge Mablean at her home (humble beginnings), has now become a ‘must attend’ affair. Gaining notoriety, the H.U.F. Awards has been a sellout with exponential growth each year. | |
| Presiding over [real] divorce cases on Fox TV Divorce Court, Judge Mablean had seen and heard it all. Issues surrounding family, especially the presence of a strong, loving and hard working father is very dear to her. She strongly believes that the positive interaction between a supportive and caring father and his child(ren), nurtures the inner spirit, and paves the way toward healthy adulthood and society. However, the courtroom was proving otherwise. With heart-breaking cases, feuding parents standing before her and innocent children as puns, Judge Mablean had seen enough. She decided that she was going to become a catalyst for family “dining” time. Thus, became the birth of Honoring Unsung Fathers. | |
| The undertaking of the awards is to identify and recognize fathers who play a vital role in the development of their child(ren) lives with the intentions of reaching out to families and communities to perpetuate good quality and responsible attributes of African American and Latino/Hispanic fathers; to encourage and promote positive fathers by spotlighting fathers who accept their role and responsibility, and does it well. Awards are generally given in five (5) categories: Solo Warrior (single father), Love Cares (married father), Fatherhood Forever (divorced father), Village Dad (non-biological father) and Living Legacy (father, grandfather, great-grand, etc.)

I would like to honor my dad Mr. Eugene George Hicks Sr. has been an awesome father and mentor. Mr. Hicks has been married to Imalee Hicks for over 64 years. He raised 8 children and although they had different personalities non have very been to prison nor has been over-taken by drugs or alcohol. He has lived in his house for over 50 years. He manage to turn a two bedroom house into a five bedroom house with two baths! *My father and mother decided to help other children so they became “foster parents” Although there were many children that came in their home they fell in love with 4 little girls that they raised unto they went to college. Now all of the girls have a family and they return for our family functions. *My dad is also very kind to the neighbors he has a large garden in the backyard and he often goes around passing out things they’ve raised. When they are given lots of food from their son-in-law, they just bag it up and pass it out. *My daddy is the oldest deacon in his church and still functions very well when it comes time for offering, turning on the lights, and singing his favorite song, “We Are Soilders” * He has been an outstanding example of a fatherhood, the neighborhood, and Christianity. He is a Living Legacy with 12 siblings, 23 grandchildren, and 36 great-grandchildren and about 150 local relatives (by-the-way) he is the oldest living relative in the family. Mr. Hicks turns 90 on May 18th!
