About Huckleberry Alliance, Inc.
Huckleberry Alliance, Inc.™ was inspired by Huckleberry Finn, an orphan in the novel by Mark Twain. Huck, a fictional character, remained optimistic despite his challenges with his alcoholic father. In Huck’s search for freedom, he developed his intuition, garnered his ability to endeavor to persevere and became an overcomer.
Similarly, Howard (Sonny) Langley, whom this non-profit honors, and the Father of our Executive Director, had a positive outlook on life despite his absent Father. “Endeavor to persevere”, a quote by Abraham Lincoln, was repeatedly verbalized by Sonny. In fact, the framed motto hung in his office for all to see.
Our mission is to educate, encourage, and support the fatherless. We define fatherless as having an emotionally unavailable and/or physically absent father.
Huckleberry Alliance, Inc.™ bestows the collegiate scholarship honoring the legacy of Howard (Sonny) Langley to high school seniors in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Our hope is to connect with area Churches to implement an educational program, currently under development.
