Jeff Updike, who nominated Cynowa, said, “While I was a patient of Dr. Cynowa’s, I learned of his Fam Jam festival, which he sponsors. He gathers all of the exhibitors, promotes the event, is heavily involved in set-up the day of and donates all of the proceeds to the Children’s Attention Home.

“Dr. Cynowa also holds many wellness training sessions and nutrition seminars at his office for the community. He is heavily involved in the chamber of commerce and became a Tega Cay board member several years ago. It is for these reasons and his community involvement that he was my choice to receive the award.”
