You Did It | September Challenge Goal Reached

Thank you for making this year’s September Challenge a success! For the third year in a row, you showed up for individuals and families at risk of or experiencing homelessness in DC. Together, we raised nearly $70,000, with more than 180 donations made throughout the Challenge. 

We reached this successful milestone thanks to our AMAZING September Challenge Sponsors, Benefactor Circle, and Committee members; our staff, volunteers, donors, event hosts & participants, fundraisers, online auction partners & participants, and many social media ambassadors. We know the need to raise critical funds to support people facing homelessness is more urgent than ever. Everyone played a vital role in ensuring this campaign’s success. Thank you.

In addition to the funds raised, check out some of the other highlights of Everyone Home DC’s September Challenge:
