20th annual Dulles Area Association of Realtors Charity Auction and Dinner

For the twentieth consecutive year, the Dulles Area Association of REALTORS® will sponsor a Charity Auction and Dinner to raise funds to benefit local charities in Loudoun County. Since 1991, DAAR has raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars from this event.

Last year, more than $35,000 was raised and donated to local shelter‐based charities. Rebuilding Together, Good Shepherd Alliance, Hope Village, Loudoun After‐Care, Loudoun Abused Women's Shelter, Loudoun Families for Children, Volunteers of America Emergency Shelter, Habitat for Humanity and Volunteers of America‐Transitional Housing Shelter received 100% of the proceeds from last year's event.

DAAR's Community Service Committee is seeking sponsorships and donations of items from area businesses for the silent and live auctions, which take place on Friday, November 4th from 6:00pm ‐ 11:00 pm at the River Creek Country Club in Leesburg.
