Sara Baldwin,
Acting Executive Director
There are thousands of individuals and many organizations that volunteer each year in local parks and support the many programs and initiatives of the Fairfax County Park Authority. In fact, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to operate our park system without volunteers. Making sure that their service is recognized is very important.
Each year we honor our outstanding volunteers at the Elly Doyle Awards Ceremony. This year due to COVID-19 restrictions, we hosted the ceremony virtually. If you missed the live event, you can check out a video of the full ceremony below. Be sure to check out the ceremony's program below the video or download a PDF copy by clicking here.
Congratulations again to all of our very deserving honorees! Thank you for your volunteer service!
