Gewirz Trick-or-Treating

Outreach volunteers helped first, second, third, and fourth graders from DC to enjoy fun and games on Wednesday, Oct 31! Volunteers participated in face painting, making crafts, handing out candy and playing games for students who might not have had any safe Halloween fun otherwise!

Light the Night Walk

Light The Night is an annual DC event to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The goal of the walk is to build awareness of blood cancers and raise funds for cures. The walk is 2 miles in length, sign-ups are free, and all donations are tax deductible!
