Charity Tournament to End Child Hunger

JS Realty Gives Back Charity Tournament on May 16, 2017 to Benefit Generosity Feeds

Leesburg, VA – The JS Realty Team @ Samson Properties will host its Inaugural fundraising Tournament on Tuesday, May 16. The goal of the tournament is to raise money to host a meal packing event through the Generosity Feeds charity.

Generosity Feeds is a local & national catalyst for mobilizing communities to help feed hungry, school aged children. Each meal made and packaged through Generosity Feeds costs $1. The JS Realty Team hopes to make and package up to 20,000 meals. A meal packing event has been scheduled for June 3 at Creighton’s Corner Elementary in Brambleton.

The Inaugural Tournament will be held at the Lansdowne Resort & Spa, located in Leesburg, Virginia. It will include an 18-hole scramble and an Artisan’s Corner with pottery painting and candle making. Breakfast and registration begin at 8AM, with a shotgun start at 9AM. The Artisan’s Corner will open at 9AM as well. Following the tournament is an awards banquet with gourmet lunch and silent auction.

Giving Back

Organized by the JS Realty Team @ Samson Properties, this Tournament is part of an annual charity campaign. The campaign aims to raise funds to promote and support local charity organizations that give back to the community.

“This Inaugural Tournament is specifically dedicated to raising funds for Generosity Feeds. More than 12,000 children in our immediate community struggle with hunger. We really want to be part of the solution to end that struggle,” JS Realty Team Co-Owner, Sarah Taylor, said. “With the support of everyone who attends the Tournament, we are hoping to raise sufficient funds to host a meal packing event on June 3.  We will make and package up to 20,000 meals for hungry children. We really want to make an impact and help these kids who may not have access to meals outside of the school day.”

Tournament Sponsors

Top Sponsors for the tournament include: Samson Properties, First Heritage Mortgage, Evergreen Janitorial Services, and Highcrest Contracting. Battlefield Ford in Manassas is providing a brand new truck for the Hole-in-One winner. Additional sponsors include ExecuClean Auto Spa, Jeff Miller Consulting Alliance, Pie-tanza, PestNow, and Delta Painting.

Step Sisters 2016 Ribbon Run

The Step Sisters – Not Your Average Breast Cancer Organization

Ribbon Run photographs are courtesy of Jessica Monte Photography. 

There’s no limit to the number of organizations out there right now who are trying to raise money to find a cure for Breast Cancer. And rightly so. According to the CDC Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women, no matter your race or ethnicity. About 220,000 women (and about 2,000 men) are diagnosed annually. But with much of the focus on finding a cure, who is there for the patient going through it? That’s where the Step Sisters come in.

They are a team of breast cancer survivors, mothers, sisters, daughters, brothers, sons and fathers who have all been touched in some way by breast cancer and want to “pay it forward” for those in need.JS Realty StepSisters logo2

The Step Sisters Mission: Improving the quality of life for those impacted by breast cancer by funding needed support services in Loudoun County and the surrounding community.

The Step Sisters have expanded their reach and currently serve breast cancer patients in Loudoun and Fairfax counties.  Services include: transportation, home cleaning, meals/fresh food delivery, childcare, dog walking and lawn care/snow removal. And their patients are extremely grateful for their help:step sisters

This past spring, the JS Realty Team was a sponsor for the Step Sisters’ 5K Ribbon Run in Brambleton, VA. We were also active participants!step sisters

When choosing a charity to support, we want to be sure we are making an impact locally – and not just financially. We want to be active in assisting an organization that uplifts and supports the community. Since we live, work, and play in Brambleton, the Step Sisters was an easy decision. And the Ribbon Run is always a fun event!step sisters ribbon run jsrealty4u

Almost our entire team (and a few family members!) showed up to the Ribbon Run event. Wearing matching gray capes with a fun logo on it, we walked, ran, photographed, and took video of the 5K and Kids Fun Run course that was set up around the Brambleton Town Center & trails.step sisters jsrealty4u superhero

The first one from our team to cross the finish line was Beth! Way to go!!

Beth was quickly followed by Scott, Jackie, Sarah, and the rest of the team.

The Step Sisters are always looking for new ways to meet the needs of breast cancer patients and continue to add new services. You can learn more about how to volunteer or join one of their fun events at StepSisters.org.

WILLING WARRIORS CHARITY

The JS Realty Team is committed to giving back to our community through monetary donations and by volunteering our time. After researching local charities we painstakingly narrowed our selections down to four that we are now building a relationship with. Over the next few weeks we will be highlighting each of the organization to raise awareness and show you what it was that made us want to work with them.

SOWW charityToday we point the spotlight at Serve Our Willing Warriors (SOWW).

For over 9 years this organization has been providing “a little taste of home” for wounded, ill, and injured warriors. SOWW started in 2006 with a grassroots campaign with a small group from a local church in Haymarket, VA. They started off sponsoring events such as gift-giving at holidays, summer cookouts, and visitation for lonely service and family members. These volunteers came away with an enormous desire to do more for these incredible service members. The original volunteers were moved by the remarkable sense of community, mutual support and can-do attitudes of the injured service members who faced such daunting challenges. That was when they knew they had to do more. JS Realty SOWW RetreatThrough their visits they discovered a need for a little piece of a “normal life” for the service members. This lead to their mission to provide our country’s recovering wounded, ill, and injured warriors and their families with encouragement, support and even a vacation from their daily norm. Something like a “home away from home.”

With this in mind, SOWW recently opened The Bull Run Warrior Retreat in Haymarket. The retreat is located on 44 acres on the edge of the Bull Run Mountains. At the moment there is an 11,000 sq. ft. home with plans to add 3 cottages to increase the room for outpatient warriors and their families to spend well needed vacation breaks from the hospital environment. The next stage will be to add additional amenities to the property including gardens, walking trails, a pond, and much more.SOWW JSRealty4U

SOWW hosts many sponsored events throughout the year to benefit the Bull Run Warrior Retreat. JS Realty SOWW 1st Golf TourneyThis fall, come out and join the JS Realty Team at the SOWW 3rd Annual Golf Tournament on October 5th! You can download the Golf Tournament flyer for more information. For you serious (and casual) bike riders, the 2nd Annual Cycling Charity Ride will take place on October 17th. Additional details can be found on the Cycling flyer. In December, SOWW will continue their tradition of visiting the troops at Walter Reed Medical Center and Fort Belvoir Community Hospital.

As you can see, this touched our hearts and is a charity that we wanted to get involved with. For more information on this remarkable charity and to register for their upcoming events visit their website.
