The Hwang Family Individual Category

The Fairfax County Park Foundation (FCPF) honors the Hwang Family for their support of county parks and park programs. The Hwangs receive the 2020 Eakin Philanthropy Award in the Individual category. The Hwangs have generously supported a variety of Park Foundation programs since 2011, with monetary gifts at the five-figure level.

William Won K. Hwang has served three terms as a director on the

FCPF Board, spanning nine years. He and his wife, Young M., and daughter Jennifer have donated funding for camp scholarships through the Rec-PAC summer camp program for children living in low-income households and PACT (Parks and Community

Together) camps for children living in homeless shelters and supportive housing.

Their philanthropy also has included sponsorships of the U.S.

Amateur Public Golf Links Tournament and numerous Combo

Classic Golf Tournaments. Their Summer Entertainment

Series contributions for Evenings on the Ellipse helped bring nationally recognized performers to Fairfax County for the enjoyment of residents and visitors. The Hwang family also facilitated outreach between Fairfax County Parks, the Park Foundation, and members of the local Korean community, who frequently visit golf courses and other parks.
