Bryan Schaaf speaks on the recent philanthropic efforts in Alexandria, Virginia - near Washington, DC - highlighting one event in particular; Spring2ACTion.
3. Giving in Alexandria
The fundraisers held in the District
usually receive far more attention
than other local opportunities, but
an annual event that began
running in Alexandria in recent
years that has garnered some
wonderful press, and it is a great
way to give back.
4. 'Spring' Has Sprung
Spring2ACTion has been running for a
few years now, partnering with ACT
for Alexandria to organize a mega
one-day fundraiser extravaganza that
allows the community to donate to
over 100 Alexandrian charities, non-
profits, and great causes until the
clock runs down. This year’s event,
held back in April, was able to raise
nearly $1.6 million in donations
