Calling all avid runners! Starting today, you can register for the family-friendly #RunTheGreenway 5K, 10K, kids fun run and virtual races and help raise funds for amazing organizations in our community like ECHO Loudoun Free Clinic YMCA Loudoun County Loudoun Abused Women's Shelter (LAWS)/Loudoun Citizens for Social Justice Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy. Get more details on how you can participate and help us celebrate 25 years of being a part of the Loudoun County community: https://www.dullesgreenway.com/run-the-greenway/

GivingTuesday is coming up on December 1st. We have one day – one opportunity – to catch the massive wave of generosity taking place on a world-wide basis - we can still make a significant and transformative difference in the lives of those living with disabilities.

We have an added incentive this year for you to give. We have been fortunate to have been selected by the Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties to participate in their Giving Tuesday Matching Challenge: this means for every dollar you give, the Community Foundation will match it. You can do twice as much good with each donation!

Head on over to our page and give TODAY (No need to wait til December 1st!)

A little #MondayMotivation.
