Charity and philanthropy is something I feel strongly about. There are some great events coming up with some really fabulous organizations. A lot of times I get people asking me what are some charities in DC I can volunteer or get involved with. DC has some of the most amazing foundations and charities. This month is an opportunity to go to these events and support some really great causes.
Becky'sFund- This organization helps foster awareness of domestic violence and promotes programs to create support for victims of domestic violence. Sept 28th 2010 Becky's Fund is having an event called "Walk this Way" charity fashion show. Check out the website for more details www.beckysfund.org. Why not do something charitable and have fun at the same time.
Tigerlilly Foundation-This organization's mission is to educate, advocate for, empower young women before, during, and after breast cancer. The founder of the foundation is a breast cancer survivor herself and a very courageous woman. Sept 29th 2010 2nd Annual Gala at the Willard InterContinental Hotel in DC. For more details checkout the website for this and other events coming up www.tigerlillyfoundation.com.
One Brick- This organization is great it has multiple volunteer and charity events for all kinds of different charities in the area. No long term commitment you can checkout the calendar on their website to select a volunteer opportunity that you are interested in. It's also a great chance to meet people and get involved. For more information check out www.onebrick.org.
There are many many more great causes to get involved in, but hopefully you can find something that interests you. I personally find it really rewarding.
