Supporting the Benefit/Gala
The 2007 black tie Benefit Gala dinner dance  was held on October 13, 2007 at the Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner. It is the major fundraising event for Arlington Free Clinic. One-third of the Clinic's operating income is generated from this event.
You can support the 2008 Gala on October 18, 2008, by buying a table at the event, buying tickets to the event, making a Special Gift, and by purchasing raffle tickets. Please contact Jody Kelly at (703) 979-1425, Ext.43, or jody@arlingtonfreeclinic.org for more information about supporting this fundraising event.

Planned Giving
Planned giving integrates a donor’s charitable gift with his or her overall financial, tax, and estate planning goals to maximize benefits to both the donor and Arlington Free Clinic. Planned gifts typically come from a donor’s assets rather than income, and can be either outright or deferred. Some types of gifts include:

  • Gifts from Your Will or Trust
  • Gifts of Appreciated Securities
  • Gifts of Life Insurance
  • Gifts from Your Retirement Plan

Please consult with your own tax or legal advisor prior to making a planned gift to Arlington Free Clinic.
