The McHenry Award is named after John McHenry. John was the lawyer who worked with the founding committee of the Daughters of the Nile Foundation to help create the Foundation. He believed there should be an award for Ladies of the Household who significantly contribute to the Foundation in some way. Since John’s passing in 2018, the award continues to be fully funded each year by the partners of the McHenry, Hazard, Roth, Hupp, Burkholder, andBlomenberg law firm of Lincoln, Nebraska.  We thank the Firm for their continued support and congratulate the 2023 McHenry Award recepients.

The McHenry Awards Program began in 2010
