About the Breakfast
The Arc of Northern Virginia’s A Life Like Yours Benefit Breakfast
Date: Thursday, March 9, 2023
Time: Coffee & Networking- 7:30-8:00 a.m. Breakfast & Program- 8:00-9:00 a.m.
Where: Hilton McLean Tysons Hotel, 7920 Jones Branch Drive, McLean, VA 22102
This year’s breakfast theme is “Respect. Dignity. Inclusion.” We strive to protect the ideal that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are entitled to the same respect, dignity, equality, safety, and security accorded to other members of society. People with IDD belong in the community and have fundamental moral, civil and constitutional rights to be fully included and actively participate in all aspects of society. People with IDD are part of and contribute to the fabric of society. Everyone benefits when people with IDD are present and participate. As we begin our seventh decade of advocacy and support, the individuals we serve continue to inspire all of us to fight for full inclusion; for the opportunity to live “A Life Like Yours.”
Yes, this is a fundraiser. However, there is no cost to attend the breakfast, and no minimum or maximum suggested donation. It will be up to us to inspire you with the stories of those we serve. The important thing is to attend. We would love for you to hear first-hand what The Arc of Northern Virginia does, and meet some of the people whose lives have been changed for the better.

Why “A Life Like Yours?”
‘A Life Like Yours’ is a phrase we use to remind us that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities want the same things we all want…a home of our own, a quality education, a meaningful job or way we spend our days, and relationships we value and depend on. It’s the vision for a community-based system of supports and services that enable individuals to obtain and enjoy a quality life in the community.
People with disabilities often face many hurdles as they attempt to live their lives as fully-engaged, active members of society. Finding information and support regarding education, employment, public benefits, housing, and healthcare is often an overwhelming experience. Northern Virginia families know The Arc of Northern Virginia as the ‘go-to source’ for information, education, referrals, and support.
