The Fairchild Recognition Award is presented annually to a WVAC member who is recognized for going above and beyond in their service to WVAC and the community. This award which was started in 2017 , was originally called the Russell D. Fairchild Award, when local beloved plumber, John Fairchild would often provide his services to residents of Wilton at no charge, and instead asked them to make a donation in his late father's name to WVAC. His father, Russell, was a patient of WVAC's on multiple occasions after an unfortunate accident at the Wilton Transfer Station until he passed away. John passed away suddenly in 2018 and the award was renamed the Fairchild Recognition Award in honor and memory of them both.
