FCBA Foundation Charity Auction

The 29^th Annual Charity Auction will be held on Thursday, November 1 at the Sphinx Club at the Almas Temple, 1315 K Street, NW, Washington, DC from approximately 6:00 – 10:00 p.m.  Admission is free, and the event is open to the public.

Proceeds from this year’s Charity Auction will benefit two great, local charities—New Endeavors by Women (NEW) and the FCBA Foundation.  Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, NEW partners with homeless women in the DC area to empower them to recognize their own worth.  By providing housing, fostering the development of life skills, and promoting education and employment, NEW transforms women’s lives by working to break the cycle of homelessness.  Nearly 30 years later, NEW’s programs and services are even more vital and urgently-needed, as homeless women and children in the District face the most daunting climb out of homelessness ever seen in recent history.  Funds raised from this year’s Charity Auction will support NEW’s Youth Enrichment Program (YEP!), which provides school help and a summer enrichment program for children.  The FCBA Foundation will use proceeds from the Charity Auction to support its annual scholarship program.

Volunteer for the Charity Auction

In order to make this one of the best auctions yet, the Auction Committee is looking for enthusiastic and energetic volunteers to help gather prize donations from businesses in and around the Beltway.  Prize gathering is a wonderful way to get out in the community and network with other members of the bar, while also helping to guarantee the success of the Charity Auction!  To volunteer or get more information, contact FCBAAuction@gmail.com.
