Provided by the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia

The Community Foundation for Northern Virginia will hold its annual fundraiser, the Raise the Region Gala, on Oct. 7, 2022.

For the first time in three years, there will be an in-person component available to those interested. This will enable the Community Foundation to respond to need, seed innovation, and lead and convene the community, helping to build a Northern Virginia that works for everyone. As part of this celebration of local philanthropy in Northern Virginia, hundreds of businesses, philanthropic, and community leaders will be represented online and in-person. In the interest of equity and accessibility, the virtual option is at no cost to interested parties.

Programming for the event will include remarks from CEO and President Eileen Ellsworth, as well as board members, and grantees A Farm Less Ordinary, United Community, and Safe Spot Children’s Advocacy Center. A live auction is scheduled with two raffles: one for a diamond piece of jewelry valued at more than $3,000, and another to participate in a whisky tasting.

A pillar of the Gala celebration each year is the Community Leadership Award, presented annually for outstanding community service and dedication to improving the quality of life for all Northern Virginians. This year’s award will be presented to Micron Technology, Inc., a world leader in innovative memory solutions with deep ties to our region through its base in Manassas. Micron transforms the communities where its team members live and work through its philanthropy and people, with more than 60% of its employees engaged in efforts to support local needs, particularly helping underrepresented and underserved students find pathways to STEM careers. e here.
