The Fenwick Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity based in Northern Virginia, serves low/limited-income older adults, Veterans, Caregivers, and other physically/intellectually/sensory-disabled individuals living in skilled nursing/assisted living facilities and other group home environments.
We would like to initiate and grow our fund raising profile -- potentially planning and hosting fund raising events at the facilities we serve.
We are looking for individuals with event planning experience who might help us to spearhead the planning, coordination and management of these periodic fundraising events. The person(s) would assist with ideas for "themes" for fund raising events, would plan and manage the event, to include contacting vendors who could help to supply food, beverages, raffle and silent auction items, as well as other activities and events.
See our website -- www.TheFenwickFoundation.org or our FAcebook page -- www.Facebook.com/FenwickFoundation for additional information about our organization.

Mission Statement

Description
The Fenwick Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity, was founded in 2011. The Foundation exists to provide therapeutic social, entertainment and educational opportunities for limited-income individuals living at nursing facilities, other senior facilities, VA Medical Centers/hospitals, facilities serving physically and mentally handicapped individuals, physically ill or convalescing individuals (and caregivers), and/or disadvantaged citizens. Our purpose is simply (but not unimportantly) to enrich their lives -- to give people with very limited means a chance to "get out of the house" and/or to enjoy a "change of pace" with in-house events.
Our sponsored activities include providing free tickets to attend professional athletic events (e.g. baseball games, basketball games, football games, hockey matches, etc.); professional and community-based performing arts events (e.g. choirs, orchestras, bands, performing artists, theater performances, etc.); and educational events (e.g. professional seminars, arts lectures, entertainment and/or performance artists’ lectures and discussions, etc.). We also sponsor "in-house" performing events, where we are able to serve and have participation by a larger number of residents.
