Richard Adams Leadership AwardThe Fiver Children’s Foundation takes its name from a celebrated work of fiction. Richard Adams’ novel, Watership Down, focuses on the survival, leadership, and courage of a group of rabbits, led by the visionary rabbit Fiver, who set out to find a better way of life. Inspired by the novel, Founder and Chairman of the Board Tom Tucker sought to establish a transformational youth development program for kids from disadvantaged circumstances.
The Richard Adams Leadership Award is given annually to an individual who exemplifies the Fiver values.
