Do What You Love Challenge Kickoff

Once again, this June we’re kicking off our Do What You Love (DWYL) Challenge! Help us close out our fiscal year on June 30th with one last fundraising push so we can provide uninterrupted service to local young people and families in need or experiencing crisis or homelessness.

DWYL offers a chance for you to contribute to our mission while enjoying activities that you and your friends and family enjoy.

Do what you love. Do you love knitting, biking, baking, pickleball, or singing? Great! Do that.
Set a date and invite people to join. Invite your friends to a virtual knit-a-thon, 5K, bake sale, pickleball tournament, or karaoke night!
Donate the proceeds of your event and help us continue providing critical support to youth and families in need in Northern Virginia.

To join the challenge or participate in an event near you, visit our Do What You Love Challenge page. There, you’ll find a toolkit to help you plan your event and our contact information so we can support you along the way.
