Recognizing Outstanding Mothers
The Outstanding Mother Awards Event - Hawai‘i is hosted by the Hawai‘i Mother's Day Council to honor some of our state’s most amazing moms. We celebrate motherhood by recognizing women who have made their families a priority while balancing demanding careers and community involvement. Please join us in supporting these spectacular women while raising funds for the lifesaving work of the American Lung Association.
Support the outstanding women in your life and the work of the American Lung Association by purchasing tickets, tables and/or a tribute ad for this heartwarming event.
