A Strong Finish to a Great Year

We’re closing in on an exciting milestone — with just a few months left in the fiscal year, the Foundation is incredibly close to exceeding our fundraising goal. This progress reflects the generosity and commitment of our supporters across the Commonwealth. But we’re not there yet — and we need one final push to ensure we cross that finish line strong.

One great way to help? Join us for an evening of food, fun, and community support in Fredericksburg!

On Thursday, April 17th, from 6–8 PM, we’ll be gathering at The Griffin on Charles (911 Charles St, Fredericksburg, VA) for a special fundraiser in support of Virginia’s veterans.

Hosted by Trustee Joel Griffin and The Riphean Group, the event will feature an open bar, delicious food, guest speakers, and a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together.

Tickets are $50 and available here: https://VSFFundraiser2025.eventbrite.com

Can’t make it? You can still support us by sharing the event flyer with your network or posting the link on social media. Every share helps us reach more veterans and their families.
