April 8, 2011, Washington, D.C.
A spirited crowd gathered at Hillyer Art Space to support City Year Washington, DC’s 2011 Alumni & Friends Fundraiser. The event raised money for several important initiatives including Camp City Year, City Year service projects, and corps member development. Leading this year’s sponsors was Aphelion Legal Solutions, whose President Aaron Lawlor, is a City Year Seattle Alumni. Mr. Lawlor commented, “this [City Year] event, like others, demonstrates the positive energy and change that can be effected by a group of civic-minded idealists.” “City Year is an amazing organization, and Aphelion is excited to be able to work with and support them in their important mission.”
About City Year - City Year unites a diverse group of young adults for a year of full-time service, giving them the skills and opportunities to work as tutors, mentors, and role models in city schools.
