This annual event allows members of the HPU Family – alumni, friends, corporate partners, and the local Brownwood/Brown County community – to come together to honor an individual or group who has made a significant impact on our beloved Howard Payne University, her students, and her Kingdom work. This year, the Dr. John D. Robnett Founders Award will be presented to the J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation in Midland, Texas. Not only do the values of the Foundation align with who we are at HPU, but also over several decades, the generosity of the Foundation has provided for campus improvements and scholarships.
