Through its partnership with Fairfax County Public Schools, MPA’ award-winning ArtReach program brings students, seniors and those with special needs to its galleries to learn about the exhibited artwork and to create art. MPA also provides its Art Reach program in area schools and community centers serving seniors and those with special needs. Summer STEAM Camp and MPAartfest, both provide outstanding STEAM experiences helping young minds connect art with science, technology, engineering and math learning.

About HBC Community Charity Champions
The HBC Group of Keller Williams Realty launched Community Charity Champions in 2012 as a venue to fundraise for local nonprofits. As good corporate citizens, Karen Briscoe and Lizzy Conroy were searching for a means to support charities in the community. The event is held on Tuesday evenings at Pulcinella Italian Host in McLean where a portion of the diner(s) is contributed to the charity of the month. Karen Briscoe and Lizzy Conroy were honored with the Corporate Social Responsibility award in 2012 by the Greater McLean Chamber of Commerce for the work HBC’s Community Charity Champions has done and continues to do for nonprofits in the area.
