The David Hwang Foundation is a nonprofit, tax exempt charitable organization dedicated to assisting children with cancer. The David Hwang Foundation raises funds to support organizations that provide assistance in pediatric cancer research to make a difference for those children. The David Hwang Foundation performs these roles through fundraising and philanthropy in order to:

- Help families with children that have been diagnosed with cancer

- Assist in financial aspects concerning the actual treatment of the child diagnosed with cancer

- To support groups and organizations that work to improve the quality of life of pediatric cancer patients

A secondary purpose is to provide for the David Hwang Foundation Scholarship to support scholar-athletes graduating from Branford High School.
