Each year the Community Foundation accepts nominations for our Philanthropy Awards, which are presented at the Celebration of Community event. These two distinguished awards recognize individuals passionate about serving others and making significant contributions to make our community a better place for us all.
This award, established in 2012, honors the legacy of Woodrow Stewart, a driving force for our community. Nominees for this award possess Mr. Stewart’s unwavering dedication to providing leadership in support of philanthropic causes important to the community and demonstrate strategic and business-minded approaches to addressing community issues.
Created in 2016 to honor the late Gus Whalen, a true visionary in Hall County and throughout north Georgia, this award recognizes individuals between 18 and 40 investing in their local community through volunteer service.
