The Foundation established the Youth Courage Awards in 2000 to further the
spirit and lifework of Colin Higgins. All of Colin Higgins's films
celebrate honesty and integrity in the face of adversity: Harold
and Maude find love despite the objections of family and society,
the heroes of Nine to Five find fulfillment and save the company
by learning to appreciate their individual talents and differences,
and the despised madam of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas transforms
the lives of many through her kindness. Individuals chosen to receive
the Colin Higgins Youth Courage Awards have endured overwhelming hostility
and hate, yet have handled themselves with the utmost grace.
