Friends of Give Back Alexandria:

Thank you all for joining us at Murphy’s Irish Pub last Monday for our Get Back to Giving Back event.  The kick-off introduced our 2010 Grantee Partners – The Reading Connection and SCAN of Northern Virginia and recognized past partners - Community Lodgings and Friends of the Alexandria Mental Health Center.  We were proud to present $1,000 checks to each of the former partners as part of an on-going legacy of investment and support by Give Back.  The Reading Connection and Friends of the Alexandria Mental Health Center also received $7,500 grants from the Bubbles & Bluegrass fundraiser held earlier in the summer.  Be sure to check out pictures from our events on Facebook – Give Back Alexandria.
 
Give Back announced a pledge to match donations up to $2,500 towards the ACT Now Fund, a fund created to assist organizations with meeting essential needs such as emergency financial, housing, food, clothing, and medical/health assistance.  We raised $500 at the Get Back to Giving Event and are continuing to take donations. 

Please pass along your feedback on how we are doing and what we can do better to support you and the community in which we live.  Send us your ideas at info@givebackalexandria.org, find us on Facebook – Give Back Alexandria, or follow us on Twitter – GiveBackAlex

Give Back Alexandria is an initiative of the Alexandria Community Trust. Our mission is to help more individuals become leaders in philanthropy by connecting them to innovative ways to get involved in solving the issues facing children, youth and families in Alexandria. We are not another non-profit organization, but instead we seek to partner with communities and organizations to find strategic and collaborative solutions. Most importantly, we have fun while we are giving back.
