• College Park Cares 10K

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007 will be the 3rd annual 10K race through College Park to benefit a variety of local charities that provide medical benefits to working families in the greater DC area.  Vecna volunteers nearly 1,000 hours in planning and executing the event that hosts over 300 participants, sponsors, volunteers and vendors for greater community health awareness.  Our goal this year is to reach 400 race participants and earn $20,000 for families in our community.

• Spotlight on Caring
  

Vecna's team members assembed Thanksgiving care packages for troops overseas. The community donation drive was a huge success and resulted in much appreciated food, game, and hygiene items totalling over 140 care packages.

Vecna employees celebrated Earth Day as part of a group of 500 who planted 700 trees around Lake Artemesia in College Park.

Vecna employees have volunteered at Washington DC area Food & Friends organization,which prepares and distributes meals to over 1,000 people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses.
