The award allowed each student to travel to a place of their choosing for architectural study and to spend a ten week period working in our office over the summer.<\/p>\n<p>\t<img alt='' src='\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Gingertown_2-David_Schwarz_resized.jpg' style='width: 368px; float: left; height: 292px' \/>We organized and sponsored our seventh annual gathering of professionals from the local building industry community to construct Gingertown. This year&#39;s theme was Gingertown University and included confectionary renditions of academic buildings, frat houses and sports facilities, to name just a few. The completed Gingertown was divided and shared with several local charities, including Children&#39;s National Medical Center, Deanwood Rehabilitation &amp; Wellness, Martha&#39;s table, My Sisters Place, Saint Elizabeth&#39;s Hospital, So Others Might Eat, The Washington Home and The Wendt Center for Loss and Healing. Contributing sponsors for this year included Page Southerland Page, WDG, Walter P Moore, Davis Construction, ZGF Architects and Faithful &amp; Gould. We collected over $20,000 that will be given directly to the charities mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>\tFor the 6th straight year we took part in the Washington Architecture Foundation&#39;s CANstruction, where teams formed by local architecture firms design and build constructions made from non-perishable food goods. At the end of the <img alt='' src='\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CANstruction_David_Schwarz_resized.jpg' style='width: 330px; float: right; height: 247px' \/>event all food items as well as cash donations from firm participants and sponsors are donated to the Capital Area Food Bank. The WAF states that &#8216;The Washington, DC CANstruction competitions have donated more than 250 tons of food in the last 12 years&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\tWe continue to be a major supporter of Food and Friends, having purchased a table to their annual Chef&#39;s Best Benefit for over twenty five years. This is a local charitable organization whose &#8216;&#8230;mission&#8230;is to foster a community caring for men, women and children living with HIV\/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses by preparing and delivering specialized meals and groceries in conjunction with nutrition counseling&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\tWe made the second installment towards a 5 year pledge to the Child Life Artists in Residence Program at The Cook Fort Worth Children&#39;s Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas. Cook has been a major client of our firm for over 25 years and this pledge goes to their Health Foundation to provide enhancements for patient programs and services.<\/p>\n<p>\tWe reached out to Phelps High School on two separate occasions this year. First, we gave a contribution as part of the 2012 AIA Convention Legacy Project. Second, we sponsored a student as part of our participation in the School&#39;s internship program. Phelps is a Washington DC magnet public high school whose curriculum focuses on architecture, engineering and related construction professions. The funds donated will be used to purchase equipment and software for the School&#39;s Visual Language Lab.<\/p>\n<p>\tWe also continued our 5 year pledge commitment to the Washington DC AIA&#39;s District Architecture Center, which celebrated its first full year of service in 2012 providing educational opportunities, including classes, lectures, workshops and exhibits for the public and the local architecture community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We funded for the thirteenth consecutive year our firm&#39;s Traveling Fellowship program for four architecture students attending University of Maryland, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4241","member_news","type-member_news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Charitable Giving Foundation of David M.
