For the second year, Loudoun Habitat for Humanity has planned a Masquerade Ball and Silent Auction. The cocktail hour starts at 6 p.m., providing guests with an opportunity to mingle and bid on the long list of silent auction items.

McDonnell raises money for Ramadan a private party in Ashburn.
Loudoun County could become critical ground for political parties this year as Mitt Romney attempts to unseat President Barack Obama and former governor George Allen faces former governor Tim Kaine in the race for U.S. Senate. Romney is expected at EIT LLC in Sterling at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday to personally present a new truck to 70-year-old Virginia “superfan” named Jim Wilson, who lost the truck he had been using to campaign for Romney in a fire, according to a New York Times blog.

Tickets for that event were $500 to $5,000 each. McDonnell attended a …

The Broad Run and Briar Woods lacrosse organizations have planned a BAKE SALE FUNDRAISER for Round 2 of the Battle of Ashburn LAX game tonight to benefit Ryan Diviney. The JV teams will face off at Broad Run while the varsity teams play at Briar Woods. Both games start at 7:30 p.m. It promises to be a night full of great lacrosse, with many Ashburn LAX Alums on the field, as well as good things to eat for a special cause. The fundraiser’s honoree, Ashburn resident Ryan Diviney, was brutally beaten in 2009 while attending college in West Virginia and has been in a coma-like state since. Ryan now requires constant care from his family, which they provide with love, but which also has created a significant ongoing financial burden. The …

A March 3 Ashburn Pub fundraiser aims to aims to help an Ashburn mom battle cancer.
Drink a beer or a pink martini, listen to some great music and save a life! You can do all three of these March 3, at Ashburn Pub’s annual Beach Party, where a portion of the proceeds will help fund cancer treatments for a 37-year-old, Ashburn mother of four. Malea Kanoho has stage IV metastatic breast cancer. Her treatments cost between $1,800 and $2,700 a week, and her health insurance does not cover the cost. Kanoho was first diagnosed with breast cancer in April of 2009 and was declared to be in remission in November 2009. Unfortunately, the cancer came back and spread to her lungs. On New Year’s Eve 2011, Kanoho was told that there was nothing more the doctors could do to help her. But, Malea and her husband, Jason Kanoho, decided …

Residents are invited to an event intended to raise awareness about and money to fight breast cancer.
UPDATE: This event has been cancelled because of weather. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and as the month enters its final week, there is still at least one way to support the fight against the disease. Anyone looking for a bargain or hoping to eliminate clutter, should plan to attend “The Big Pink Flea Community Yard Sale and Market” from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 29. Lara’s League organized the event, which takes place at Belmont Country Club in the Manor House parking lot. Lara’s League was created in 2009 after Ashburn resident Lara Hopewell was diagnosed with breast cancer – after the diagnosis, her husband, Rob, created a Facebook page and called it Lara’s League. Then, a group of friends who had previously planned to …
