Lee-Fendall House:
Through the generous support of Spring2ACTion donors
over two consecutive years, we were able to secure the
funds to work with a mason with experience in historic
craftsmanship to stabilize, repair, and restore the full
foundation. It's because of Spring2ACTion that we've
ensured Lee-Fendall House will still be standing for
generations into the future.

Justin Wilson, Mayor of Alexandria, on
Spring2ACTion:
“One of the opportunities and challenges of my job is that I am
constantly bombarded with demonstrations of the need and all
of the organizations that are doing great things. Every year my
list of organizations to support grows because I’m always
finding out about new organizations.”
