These awards celebrate individuals and organizations that have supported the work of the UCF.  In recognition of over a decade of helping young adults fight cancer, we honor and thank those who have been critical to this exciting milestone, with the following awards:
 
ULMAN FAMILY FOUNDERS’ AWARD
Evan Handler
 
This award is named in honor of its first recipient, the Ulman Family, who began the organization a decade ago. The Ulman Family Founders’ Award pays tribute to those individuals who without their dedication, generosity and genuine compassion for young adults diagnosed with cancer and their families, this organization would not be possible.
 
HOPE AWARD
Jonny Imerman – Founder of Imerman Angels
 
This award recognizes oncology professionals in the medical, psycho-social and advocacy fields. In their professional practice, awardees demonstrate a passion for creatively addressing the emotional and healthcare needs of young adult patients and survivors. On a daily basis, with appreciation for the science of their own respective fields and the art of compassion they instill hope in the young people and families they serve, and all who work to enhance the lives of young adults affected by cancer.
 
VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD
Sharon Curran
 
This award honors individuals who have selflessly devoted their time and energy to the work and mission of the UCF. They have brought boundless enthusiasm, a wealth of experience about how to run organizations, the knowledge of the history of cancer advocacy in Maryland, and ways to motivate and inspire others.
 
PARTNER AWARD
Howard County Tourism
 
This award recognizes individuals and organizations who have supported the work of the UCF through innovative partnerships. Through partnerships the UCF has been able to raise funds critical to the advancement of our programs and services.  The partnerships have also afforded us the opportunity to reach segments of the young adult population who might not otherwise be aware of our services.
 
YOUNG ADULT “FIGHT” AWARD
Laurel and Rebeccah Wassner
 
This award celebrates young adults whose lives have been touched by cancer and regardless of prognosis or outcome, have confronted the disease with purpose, grace and fight.
