ONE Award Winner
Oklahoma Nonprofit Excellence Award (ONE Award) finalist in the category of Youth Development
The Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits brought together the best nonprofits in the state to honor them for their excellence and inspiration to other nonprofits who strive for the same outstanding performance. Honorees did not apply for the awards, but were nominated and selected by the ONE Awards Selection Commission as one of the three best among all similar nonprofits worthy of receiving this statewide acknowledgement of excellence in the nonprofit community.
Joe Moran, chairman of the ONE Award Committee stated:
“We’re bringing together a group that we consider the most exceptional nonprofits in the state for a gala awards ceremony that celebrates excellence and showcases the truly wonderful work these groups do every day.”
As one of the three finalists, Happy Hands was awarded $5,000.
