Support Greater DC Cares!


Each year in May, businesses and volunteers participate in Servathon, Greater DC Cares’ marathon days of community service. In 2007, approximately 3,000 volunteers came out to help make a greater impact on positive social change — and help make the DC region a greater place to live.

Two days. 3,000 volunteers. 13,500 hours. $400,000 saved! Together, we made a huge impact.

Get your company involved. Your business can participate in two ways:

  • Sponsor Servathon! AOL served as Servathon’s Presenting Sponsor for the third year in a row in 2007. AOL, Freddie Mac and Deloitte all value the visibility they receive in advertisements and collateral material. A wide range of sponsorship levels is available so any business can participate!

Other companies participating in Servathon 2007 included Fannie Mae Foundation, Congressional Quarterly, DMJM, Navigant Consulting, SAP, Social & Scientific Systems, UN Foundation, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, Verizon, Boston Beer Company, DS3 DataVaulting, Sport & Health Clubs, Rand Construction, Blattner Brunner, Bond Beebe, Raffa, MorganFranklin, McGraw-Hill, WMACCA, DLA Piper, America’s Promise, and Potomac Massage Training Institute.

  • Form an employee team! For all sponsor teams, Greater DC Cares will develop a project that meets your community investing goals.

Great achievements — for the greater good. For two amazing days during Servathon 2007, we completed projects throughout the region:

  • Landscaping the C&O Canal.
  • Helping CentroNia, a bilingual multicultural center, prepare for its annual community festival.
  • Beautifying the grounds between the World War II and Korean War Memorials on the National Mall.
  • Painting schools around the region to give students a cheerful place to study.
  • Cleaning and collecting debris along the Anacostia River.

In addition to these hands-on projects, Greater DC Cares also held several other events as part of Servathon 2007:

  • Board Leadership Program – training for nonprofits throughout the region on “Developing a Mission-Driven Nonprofit Board”
  • Marketing Training for nonprofit organizations
  • “Citizen Academy” workshop on environmental issues facing the region and what we can all do to help
