On behalf of The Loudoun Laurels Foundation, we invite you to partner with us for our 2023 annual Celebration of Life and Leadership gala. Our 14th annual gala on September 22, 2023, will recognize an individual whose selflessness, imagination, and generosity have combined to enrich Loudoun County, improving the quality of life for all its residents. By honoring community leaders, The Loudoun Laurels Foundation seeks to highlight major contributions to the preservation and conservation of our county's natural and historic resources; the availability of proper nutrition, affordable housing, and medical care for underserved populations; and the promotion of a robust busuness, arts, and cultural environment in Loudoun County.

The gala also shines a light on two derserving Loudoun County high school seniors designated to receive $40,000 scholarships to attend the four-year Virginia state institution of higher learning of their choice. Our Loudoun Laurels Scholars are trailblazers who, in addition to their academic achievements, "pay it forward" with community support through volunteerism. To date we have awarded $1 million in scholarships to 25 students and honored 30 Laureates for their outstanding leadership and selfless commitment to the Loudoun County community and beyond.
