(FEDERAL WAY, WA) The Greater Federal Way Chamber will honor businesses with Impact Awards as part of its annual Gala on November 15, from 5-9 p.m., at the Woodbridge Corporate Park headquarters building.

The 2025 Impact Award recipients: Courtyard by Marriot Seattle-Federal Way will receive the Business Impact Award, YMCA Camp Kilworth will receive the Community Impact Award, and Seattle Seawolves will receive the Regional Impact Award. The Walmart Supercenter in Federal Way will receive the 2025 President’s Award.

“Business leadership takes many forms and in the greater Federal Way area  we see the powerful impact businesses make in the lives of our South King residents,” said Chamber CEO Rebecca Martin, CCE. “Our annual Gala celebrates the enduring vision of our Chamber network to create opportunities that sustain and grow our business base.”

The Business Impact Award recognizes leadership in providing unique opportunities for business growth through economic initiatives, participation in community and business projects, and a commitment to enhancing economic growth in the region.
Courtyard by Marriott is an American brand of hotels owned by Marriott International. The hotels are primarily targeted to business travelers.  The strategic location of Courtyard by Mariott in Federal Way offers a range of amenities for both leisure and business guests.

The Community Impact Award recognizes leadership which serves as a model of inspiration in personal, professional and volunteer efforts; a track-record of community enhancement through projects or business concerns designed to make a difference; and service to the community- personal and/or professional.
YMCA Camp Kilworth This 25-acre shoreline camp had its grand reopening earlier this year and launched the YMCA Day Camp for the 2025 summer. After years of collaboration, Camp Kilworth will see a new generation, the first in decades, explore the woods, dive into environmental education, and create lifelong memories on this historic property.

The Regional Impact Award recognizes leadership in economic development initiatives of the South Puget Sound; leadership in the development of the region through best practices within an industry segment; and an inclusive approach to new and existing business opportunities within our regional corridor and the global marketplace.
The Seattle Seawolves aren't just a rugby team; they're back-to-back champions and Western Conference title holders. This organization is all about building a winning culture, both on and off the field. But it's more than just pro rugby. The Seawolves are committed to the community through their Rugby Pathway, a program designed to connect every level of the sport in the Pacific Northwest.

In addition to the Impact Awards, the Walmart Supercenter  in Federal Way will be honored with the President’s Award. The President’s Award recognizes a member business who generously takes that extra step to help the Chamber achieve organizational effectiveness. The Award honors that special commitment of the member, often working behind the scenes, to volunteer time, services, equipment, and other support which helps to sustain the Chamber’s overall program of work.

Corporate Park headquarters building, on November 15 from 5-9 p.m. Tickets are available online at federalwaychamber.com.  For sponsorship and program advertising, call the Chamber 253-838-2605.
