Honoring extraordinary dedication to cancer care.

The Diane Henriquez Awards recognize people and organizations whose commitment has helped advance PWF’s mission and improve support for people affected by cancer in Curaçao.

About the award

Established by PWF in 2014 to commemorate the foundation's 65th anniversary, the Diane Henriquez Award traditionally recognizes individuals and organizations with a record of selfless, sustained service to cancer care and the PWF mission.

The award celebrates the collective strength behind Curaçao's fight against cancer: volunteers, professionals, partners, advocates, and community members who turn compassion into action.

The 75th anniversary edition

75 awards for 75 years.

In celebration of PWF's 75th anniversary in 2024, the foundation announced a special edition of 75 Diane Henriquez Awards. The first ten awards were presented on June 14, with each recipient receiving a certificate and a crab-shaped award created for the occasion by Limpi Recycling.

The signal post at Rooi Santu is also planned for restoration in their honor, in collaboration with the family of Diane Henriquez and Uniek Curaçao.
