Benefit Breakfast
The Arc of Northern Virginia’s A Life Like Yours Benefit Breakfast is an annual event that raises critical funding required to provide information, education, direct support services, and advocacy to meet the needs of the 39,000 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities of all ages and their families in Northern Virginia.
Corporate & Community Team Challenge
Held annually at Burke Lake Park, The Arc of Northern Virginia’s Corporate and Community Team Challenge brings together companies and the community to raise important funds to sustain and strengthen its vital programs, services, and advocacy for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities of all ages and their families. For 46 years, this has been Northern Virginia’s premier corporate and community challenge foot race and the area’s only team based race with teams of 5-7 runners.
Arctoberfest
Arctoberfest is The Arc of Northern Virginia’s signature Halloween-themed fundraiser and celebration, bringing together individuals, families, and community champions for a night of inclusive fun and meaningful impact. This event is open to all ages and designed to be inclusive, welcoming, and sensory-friendly.
Gala
The Gala helps raise important funds that help make possible all of our programs, services, and advocacy education for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities of all ages and their families. This special event brings together hundreds of community members, elected officials, and leaders in the business and philanthropic communities, alongside our longstanding supporters and partners. Enjoy a seated Gourmet Dinner, be inspired by the Evening’s Program, get caught up in the bidding excitement of the Live Auction, and round out the evening with Music and Dancing.
Camp Arc2Independence
Each summer, the Tech for Independent Living team is excited to host multiple Camp Arc2Independence sessions! Campers enjoy fun activities, connect with others, and strengthen their independence skills — all with support from the Arc2Independence app. Created by The Arc of Northern Virginia’s Tech for Independent Living team, the app empowers individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to engage more fully in their communities.
Wings for All
The Arc’s Wings for All program gives families of children with disabilities and aviation professionals the confidence to take to the skies with ease by providing a full airport “rehearsal,” including checking in, going through TSA, finding your gate, and boarding the plane. The Arc of Northern Virginia is hosting Wings for All this fall in collaboration with Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, and United Airlines.
