Give Back Alexandria
What happens when you have more passion than capital to help Alexandria? That’s the challenge facing today’s young professionals, many of whom have joined together in ACT’s Give Back Alexandria. Members Scott and Sonia Price believe the group is true to its name. Says Scott, “It’s a great vehicle for giving back. You may not be able to give large sums of money, but collectively and combined with ACT matching funds, we see a big impact.” And the group’s fundraising is always … fun. Last year, its annual Blues and Bluegrass event attracted 200 young Alexandrians. For Scott, who makes a special effort to reach out to diverse segments of the community, the group is also “a great way to get so many different groups together with the common goal of helping the city.” And now, he says, given the current economic climate, “There couldn’t be a better time to get involved.”

Center for Alexandria's Children
The CAC officially opened in April 2007. They celebrated with a Grand Opening event in September 2007. ACT was able to bring this multi-disciplinary, multi-agency center from idea to opening in less than two years. To learn more about the CAC, visit: www.centerforalexandriaschildren.org. ACT continues to support the Center for Alexandria’s Children through capacity building grants and a joint investment towards a city-wide playgroup initiative with The Giving Circle of Alexandria. |
The Center for Alexandria's Children (CAC) is a very special result of ACT's focus on innovation and collaboration. This child advocacy center provides a single, supportive environment for victims of child abuse, as well as resources for parents. Here, children receive sensitive, integrated care and attention from human services, law enforcement, and other professionals, and parents can learn new parenting skills and receive the support they also need.
