Woodrow “Woody” Stewart was known for his passion, his leadership and his generosity. Stewart passed away in 2012, but his memory is honored every year with the presentation of the Woodrow Stewart Leadership in Philanthropy Award, given annually by the North Georgia Community Foundation. This year, Don and Pat Pirkle will be recognized for their generosity, and will receive the Woodrow Stewart award in a luncheon at noon Nov. 20 at First Baptist Church Gainesville.
