Hawn Family

The Hawn family has made giving a priority, passed down from generation to generation. It was back in 1962 when Fritz and Mildred established the Hawn Foundation from half of the assets from their estate. From the beginning, the Hawn Foundation focused its philanthropy on educational, medical, and literary institutions, including Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.

In 2023, the renovation of the Margot Perot Center for Women and Infants was complete. One of the new sections of the Center – the Hawn Family Lounge – was built from a gift from the Hawn Foundation. Margaret, granddaughter of Fritz and namesake of Margaret, said, “We wanted to do something for everyone who entered the building, and we felt the family lounge would provide a place for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation, especially for family members visiting loved ones who are patients in the hospital.”
