Over 200 of our friends and neighbors joined us at this year’s Sip & Soirée to honor and thank Windy Hill’s past leaders. Additionally, attendees had the opportunity to learn about Windy Hill’s three campaigns, which will provide the funding necessary for our Foundation to continue to flourish: (1) The Education Fund, (2) The Home Repair Fund, and (3) The Emergency Needs Fund.
During the event, Windy Hill Board Member Mitch Voss and his wife Suzanne generously pledged a $20,000 donation match for the Education Fund. They emphasized the challenges that low-income residents face in pursuing further education. With 82 children residing in Windy Hill’s Middleburg, The Plains, and Marshall units, the Education Fund aims to provide tuition support for early childhood education, vocational training, college, and continuing education courses, empowering both residents and their children to bolster their education and thrive.
In support the Foundation’s Emergency Needs Fund, Sip & Soirée Chair, Shannon Davis and her husband Jim pledged a benevolent match of $20,000, Shannon noting, “I stand on the shoulders of those who came before me, Kim Hart and Bob Dale, along with Judy Washburn, Helen Wiley, and Margot Levis all of whom are with us this evening.” The Emergency Needs Fund is designed to aid residents during their most critical moments, such as unforeseen medical expenses, car repairs, or utility bills.
Continuing the spirit of generosity, steadfast Windy Hill supporter, Monoflo International, Inc., offered a match of $25,000 to be designated to our Home Repair Fund. This critical fund aids in the refurbishment of our aging homes and the maintenance of our Windy Hill properties. Thanks to Monoflo’s support, Windy Hill is revitalizing its oldest properties, known as The Cottages on Windy Hill Road in Middleburg.
Our annual celebration is Windy Hill’s largest philanthropic event of the year. This fundraiser bolsters the Windy Hill mission, including supporting Resident Services programs aimed at enhancing the quality of life for families living in Windy Hill affordable housing communities in Loudoun and Fauquier counties. Through sponsorships, ticket sales, and donations made at the event, we raised over $250,000!
Thanks to your generosity and support, these funds will enable us to maintain Windy Hills homes, offer educational opportunities to our residents, and allow us to respond to their needs – be it food, medical, educational, rent, or utility expenses for both children and adults. Your kindness empowers us to foster opportunities for residents of all ages to flourish. We eagerly anticipate sharing the fruits of these endeavors with you!
A special thanks to our “Making a Difference” supporters who sustain our mission.
