35th Annual FCBA Auction Website

The Young Lawyers Committee of the Federal Communications Bar Association (FCBA) and the FCBA Foundation are seeking donations and sponsors for the 35th Annual FCBA Charity Auction.  Over the past 34 years, the Charity Auction has raised more than $2 million for DC-based charities.

Auction Details:  The Auction will be held on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, at The Hamilton Live, 600 14th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005 from approximately 6:30 – 10:00 p.m. ET.

Auction Beneficiaries:  The Washington Jesuit Academy strives to break the cycle of poverty by offering a rigorous, comprehensive, and tuition-free education to fourth through eighth-grade boys from underserved DC-metro communities. The Academy seeks to foster a learning community that extends beyond the traditional school day. In addition to traditional academic programming, the school encourages student participation in extracurricular activities, serves three nutritious communal meals a day, assists students with homework completion, and provides counseling services. The Academy also prepares students, parents, and guardians for future educational aspirations after graduation through its High School Placement Program. This program provides information on local high schools, assists with application processes, and helps families and guardians complete financial aid filings. By assisting students in finding the right high school, the Academy helps to ensure students continue to excel beyond middle school. The impact of the Alumni of the Washington Jesuit Academy is evident: 99% of its alumni graduate from high school, and 90% go on to college, trade school, or enter the workforce.

Supporting the FCBA Charity Auction will enable Washington Jesuit Academy to serve more students through tuition awards or the construction of a new classroom. By participating in this year’s auction, you will help further the Washington Jesuit Academy’s mission to provide essential educational, social, emotional, and financial support to local students.
