The FCBA will host its 25th Annual Charity Auction on Thursday, November 6, 2014 from approximately 7:00-10:00pm at the Almas Temple, 1315 K Street, NW, Washington, DC.  The online auction will open a week earlier and will run for two full weeks, from October 30, 2014 through November 13, 2014.

We are extremely excited to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this annual event focused on giving back to our community.  Over the past 25 years the auction has raised over $1.5 million for local charities. 

About the Beneficiaries
This years event will benefit BUILD Metro DC and the FCBA Foundation. BUILD Metro DC offers a four-year program that targets high school students in low-income communities who are not on-track academically and are at the highest risk of dropping out of school.  Through entrepreneurship-based, experiential learning, BUILD equips these youth for high school, college, and career success. The FCBA Foundation will use proceeds from the Charity Auction to support its annual scholarship program.
