FFC Awards

In an effort to recognize and honor the people who have served as mentors and models for youth leaders, FFC has established several awards:

Teacher’s Award for Peace Advocacy

In recognition of the influence of dedicated teachers on the hearts and minds of their students, FFC has sought to honor and encourage the work they do. These men and women constitute the front line in the effort to guide our young people into the maturity of thought and character required by society’s leaders. The annual Teacher’s Award for Peace Advocacy includes a $2,000 cash prize.

Faith in Action Award

The Faith in Action Award is given to individuals who have demonstrated what can be accomplished when faith is put into action for the betterment of others. The first Faith in Action Award was presented to Mary Campbell Cosby during the 7th Children of Abraham Awards Ceremony.

Lifetime Achievement Award

The Lifetime Achievement Award, proudly presented by FFC for dedicated service to children, was awarded to Mrs. Monika Tuerk, wife of the Austrian Ambassador to the U.S., His Excellency Helmut Tuerk. The presentation took place at the opening ceremonies of “Our Children’s Hope: Peace” at Georgetown University.
