EACH MONTH, CHECK OUT “GROWING IN ALEXANDRIA,” AN AEDP BLOG SERIES THAT FOCUSES ON BUSINESSES AROUND THE CITY.
This week, we are featuring ACT for Alexandria– one of our city’s most well-known community foundations. We talked with Heather Peeler, President & CEO, and in lieu of our normal intro, we’d like to highlight something special for the organization: the 10th anniversary of their Spring2Action initiative, on April 29, 2020. It will be the second year that they are looking to involve “Business Fundraisers” in Spring2Action. Spring2Action is a 24-hour period where people are encouraged to make an online donation to an Alexandria charity. More information can be found here. Check it out today on the blog!
