On Thursday, June 6th, Jenni Green and Liz Bush of Alex’s Army Childhood Cancer Foundation were invited to join the Regency Women’s Club of Dominion Valley for their annual Dinner Meeting and Presentation of Scholarships and Charity Grants.
Alex’s Army Childhood Cancer Foundation together with Feeding Friends, another local nonprofit organization from Prince William County, each received checks for $9,000! The amount given this year was said to be an all time high for the Regency Women’s Club.
Every year, the Regency Women’s Club of Dominion Valley chooses 2 local non-profit organizations and raises funds throughout the year through various fundraiser events in an effort to help support the chosen charities missions. We were so honored to have been nominated and chosen as one of the 2018-2019 beneficiaries. The women in this club are definitely a special group and what they are doing to give back to the community is both inspiring and heartwarming.
On behalf of everyone at Alex’s Army Childhood Cancer Foundation, we thank the Regency Women’s Club for believing in our mission, for their kindness, love and support, and for empowering our foundation financially so that we can continue to make a difference for families in our area fighting childhood cancers.
September 5th we had the honor of meeting the wonderful team at Apple Federal Credit Union as one of the 2018-2019 Apple Community Impact Grant Program recipients.
When we learned earlier this year that we were nominated for the Apple Community Impact Grant Program, we were incredibly excited for the opportunity alone! Little did we know that the nomination would lead towards our Foundation being chosen and later granted $30,000 in funding towards furthering our mission to support the families we serve who are going through so much in the fight against childhood cancer.
We are so thankful for the sincere compassion, generosity, and excitement that we felt from the entire team at AFCU, the AFCU Golf Committee, and the AFCU Foundation. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Apple Federal Credit Union for believing in the mission and vision of Alex’s Army and for your support of families fighting childhood cancers.
