American Heart Association receives fund matching Through the end of last year, Harrity & Harrity LLP doubled all American Heart Association donations and registration fees up to $100,000 for its Lawyers Have Heart 10K Race, 5K Run, and Walk. Donations to Lawyers Have Heart assist the American Heart Association in furthering its efforts to create a world in which people live longer, healthier lives and can help fast track research and train front-line workers. “As a person who had his life saved by the AHA’s science,” said John Harrity, managing partner, Harrity & Harrity LLP, “this cause is beyond important to me and my family. Our firm wanted to give in a big way and we hope this inspires others to do the same.” Photo by Scott Webb
Last summer, Capital One Center hosted 12 nights of free drive-in movies at the McLean Metro parking lot. The event was conducted in partnership with Second Story, a local youth homeless shelter that provides food, shelter and therapy for vulnerable community members affected by COVID-19. In addition to offering free movie nights for the community, Capital One Center’s movie series raised $15,000 for Second Story.
