Heritage Award and Gala Banquet ~ Celebrating the accomplishments of Welsh North Americans
This year the The North American Festival of Wales – NAFOW - is happening September 2-6, 2026 in Springfield, Massachusetts! Phil Davies will be receiving special honors September 4th:
This annual gala evening will honor the 2026 recipient of the Welsh Heritage Medallion, Philip Davies, followed by entertainment by Caleb Nicholas the 2025 recipient of the coveted Osborne Roberts Blue Riband Memorial Award at the National Eisteddfod in Wales.
Philip Davies has played an integral part of running the North America Wales Foundation [NAWF] for over forty years, serving as a board member, Secretary, President, and carrying out day to day tasks to ensure the Foundation continued. It was the personal connections he made during his time with NAWF that stand out; especially in his work to stabilize and grow the endowment, ensuring that funds would be available in perpetuity to support educational exchanges between Wales and America.
