When I was asked to write an article highlighting the positive impact the Washington Football Team and its players have on the community a few weeks ago, I was excited to help put a spotlight on some of the charities that are doing amazing work locally. Washington has a long history of getting bad press and losing games, but as former team president Bruce Allen famously said, “We’re winning off the field, but we need to start winning on the field.”
Charities come in a lot of different forms and focus on a big variety of causes to raise money and/or awareness.
