20th Anniversary CELEBRATION Spirit of Mount Vernon Thursday, October 7, 2021
The Washington, D.C. corporate, association, and government affairs communities have come together for the last 19 years for a Spirit of Mount Vernon fundraising event in support of our foremost founding father, George Washington, and his beloved home, Mount Vernon. The 20th anniversary of this iconic event will be commemorated in 2021 with a special, celebratory evening. This annual event welcomes more than 800 guests to the beautiful east lawn overlooking the Potomac River and has raised $6.5 million for Mount Vernon’s mission of education and preservation. In return, the event has offered the corporate, association, and government business community a unique opportunity to network while supporting an important philanthropic cause.
