About This Event
Giving Opportunity: Real Stories, Real Success
Thursday, May 28, 2026
This is not just a fundraiser.
It is a night of truth, courage, and possibility.
Giving Opportunity: Real Stories, Real Success brings our community together to celebrate what happens when people are met with compassion, safe housing, recovery support, mental health services, and meaningful employment opportunities.
Hosted by Centers for Opportunity (CFO) in Northern Virginia, this evening shines a light on individuals who have rebuilt their lives with the right support at the right time.
What You’ll Experience
Powerful, first-hand stories of resilience and growth
A closer look at CFO’s impact — including our Employment Services Program
Connection with community leaders, partners, and advocates
A shared commitment to creating pathways toward stability and independence
This evening is designed to move hearts — and move action.
Why It Matters
When someone gains safe housing, secures employment, feels seen, supported, and believed in…
Entire families — and entire communities — grow stronger.
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we gather not only to reflect, but to act. Every registration, every partnership, and every sponsorship directly fuels programs that create lasting change across Northern Virginia.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsoring Giving Opportunity is more than brand visibility — it is leadership in action.
Our sponsors make it possible for individuals navigating crisis, recovery, and unemployment to access safe housing, mental health stabilization, and meaningful employment pathways.
We offer several sponsorship levels designed to align with the impact you want to make:
Hope Sponsor — $1,000
Leadership recognition, premier visibility, and six event tickets.
Opportunity Sponsor — $500
Program recognition, event signage placement, and four event tickets.
Community Sponsor — $250
Recognition in the program and two event tickets.
We also offer Exhibitor Tables — $300 for businesses and partners who want to connect directly with attendees.
Each sponsorship level represents a commitment to second chances, stability, and long-term independence.
Your partnership helps ensure that stories of resilience continue — not just at this event, but every day at CFO.
