The Hughes Family and Friends Foundation is dedicated to assisting disadvantaged children and their families and providing relief from financial burdens.
We are local to Utah and intend to focus first on those suffering within our state—most of whom are overlooked or go unnoticed.
We are committed to helping enrich the lives of those children through donations to schools and other local non-profit organizations.
About the
Foundation
Our Story
Zana Hughes, the founder of the Hughes Family and Friends Foundation, was born in a small village called Breznica in Macedonia. She came from very humble beginnings and moved to Australia when she was 18 years old. At the age of 20, she met her husband, best friend, and life partner, Breck.
Zana, with the support and help from her husband, raised three children and worked her way up in the world to be able to give her children the things and experiences that she didn't have in childhood, all the while hoping that she could one day do the same for other children.
Now that she has reached a certain point in her life, Zana is committed to helping underprivileged children in Utah and their families, with the support of her three children and close friends.
They will start by raising funds and donating them to schools in Utah that have a high percentage of children living below the poverty line. This will ensure that these children have access to school lunches and educational opportunities. And this is just the beginning of their efforts!
