Cecil Hardee said,
"It is my way of contributing to the citizens of Fairfax County other than just doing my job, spending their money. The citizens support the Park Authority by voting yes on the bonds. This is my was of supporting the Park Foundation in raising funds for 'special' projects where additional funding is needed."
John Lehman said,
"The Park Authority mission is important to me and I chose to support the Foundation which is a core part of that outreach to our community."
Sandra Stallman who led the
Great Parks Great Communities Comprehensive plan commented,
"I'm pleased this parting gift will benefit the park system where I've invested most of my working years. It is very fitting!"
This dedicated trio sets a wonderful example of celebrating and improving parks through the Park Foundation.
A matching gift fund, commemorative tree or park bench are other ways of recognizing milestones and special accomplishments!

Year-end Gift 'glides' in to Hidden Oaks
"Both of my children enjoy Hidden Oaks quite a bit, and it's a great resource for the neighborhood. We appreciate all the work you do to keep it running, and that was the reason behind my donation. Looking forward to visiting in the future (hopefully the flying squirrel campfire program!) and thanks again for all you do."
It is through philanthropy like Mr. McNaughton's that the Park Foundation can continue to improve your wonderful parks!
Thanks to ALL who donated to the Fairfax County Park Foundation in 2016.
Every gift helps and is greatly appreciated!
