You are invited to support REACH for Uganda's Gala on Sunday, Oct 18, 2026. At Army Navy Country Club!

 Dear friend, REACH for Uganda, Formerly Arlington Academy of Hope, opened its doors in rural Uganda 22 years ago with a primary school and became the only school in the region using American models of education.  Since then, we have built 2 more schools, a primary and secondary school, and 2 health clinics.

The children, people, and clinics that REACH supports in Uganda face challenges every day.  REACH educates over 1300 children annually in eastern rural Uganda.  Our two clinics treat over 40,000 patients annually.  These programs have transformed these communities and continue to make a difference by providing top notch education and medical treatment.

            Our “Safari Nights Gala” will take place on Sunday, October 18, 2026.  The annual gala is our biggest fundraiser, featuring gift certificates, services, and other donated items for our silent and live auctions.  However, we also need corporate sponsors for the gala.

We sincerely hope you will be able to be a sponsor our gala so that REACH can continue to educate and serve needy children and people in Uganda.  Hundreds of families and businesses in Northern Virginia, as well as non-profit organizations with whom we partner, have opened their hearts and wallets to help educate and serve these capable students, and to support our clinics.  Sponsorships are crucial to the success of the gala.

Can we count on your support with a corporate sponsorship this year?  Our sponsors will be thanked and have an advertisement in our program.  You will also be listed on our website, and on our Facebook page with a live link back to your business.  Our auction gala website, as well as during our virtual gala, will include your company name and logo. We will include a live link on the gala website to your business for at least four months after the auction. Additionally, post-gala, sponsors will be recognized in our newsletter which is sent to more than 5,000 supporters.

            Your gift makes a difference!  Funds raised at this year’s gala will buy urgently needed educational materials and medical supplies, and will support scholarships for deserving children, teacher salaries, training, and more.  If you have any questions, please check our website at www.REACHforuganda.org.  You may also contact JoAnn Willis at 703-508-8852 or jvswillis@comcast.net.  Your support is much appreciated both here and by the students in Uganda who make such good use of it in their lives.

          Please send your sponsorship gift to: REACH, PO Box 101383, Arlington, Va., 22210.  (REACH is a non-profit 501c3 tax exempt organization.)  Thank you so much!
