Springfield Golf and Country Club's women's tennis members came together in May 2025 for a Ladies Night Out to support RIF NOVA. The night included a "white elephant" book exchange, book charades, a raffle, and tables of donated NEW books to be "sponsored" to give to children in the RIF NOVA community. Bookmarks were placed in each sponsored book with encouraging notations about the fun of reading! A few members came dressed as book characters, including (ahem) Eloise and Waldo!
Jewelry store Kendra Scott in the Mosaic District reached out to RIF NOVA to support our efforts to raise funds for books for Northern Virginia schools. During an in-store event in April 2025, Clifford helped bring in the customers to purchase gifts for graduations, Mother's Day, and birthdays. Twenty percent of all sales went to RIF NOVA and will contribute to the purchase of almost 200 books for our Books for Keeps program. We are grateful for this community collaboration that sparkled in every way possible!

At ceremonies in October 2024, Georgiana Ide, chair of The Giving Circle of Heritage Hunt, Inc., announced its selection of 16 charities for its 2024 round of giving. RIF NOVA was honored to be one of the selectees. Immediate past president Justina Johnson spoke on behalf of RIF NOVA and noted the generous grant will be used to supply a second book each for 875 Prince William County students at the RIF NOVA-supported Innovation Elementary School. A photo of the distribution is below; more may be found by clicking here and scrolling to the section titled, "It's No Joke...We Love a Good Book!"
Now in its 17th year, the Heritage Hunt Giving Circle has awarded 196 grants totalling $597,243. RIF NOVA is beyond grateful for the generosity of this community organization. |
