In the Community Teardrops
to Rainbows

McDonald
Bradley has a long history of supporting local charitable institutions and selected
Teardrops to Rainbows as its exclusive focus in 2005. In 2005, McDonald Bradley
raised more than $50,000 for the charity. In 2006, we increased our fund-raising
goal to $75,000. This year we are looking to raise another $75,000 for the organization.
We will reach this goal through multiple fund-raising activities, our major one
being our Annual Client Golf Invitational, and through employee payroll deductions.
Teardrops
to Rainbows, a 501(c)(3) organization, was created to improve the quality of life
for children with cancer and their families. Specifically, the organization strives
to help families stay connected and better manage their daily routines and household
responsibilities while supporting a cancer-stricken child. They do this by providing
financial assistance to cover services such as childcare and housecleaning that
make more time available for parents to devote to their sick children and their
siblings. They also assist with expenses such as cell phone service to improve
family members' ability to stay in touch with each other and Internet service
that may be used for communication, medical research and access to other information.
The organization also sponsors social activities that help to bring affected family
members together. Teardrops to Rainbows is specifically focused on helping pediatric
oncology patients undergoing treatment at local area hospitals such as Inova Fairfax
Hospital for Children and Georgetown Hospital.
Additional
Charitable Support Some of the more recent events we have
sponsored/contributed to include, The Walk for Shea, Help the Homeless Walk, County
of Fairfax Foster Care, Northern Virginia Cued Speech and the Alzheimer's Association
Memory Walk. Adult
and Community Education (ACE) 
McDonald
Bradley is a financial sponsor for the Fairfax County Adult and Community Education
(ACE) Training and Scholarship Foundation. Additionally, our CSO serves on the
volunteer Board of Trustees. The ACE Training and Scholarship Foundation provides
assistance for two under-resourced constituencies. First, scholarships are provided
for adult students living or working in Fairfax County whose household income
is between $30,000 and $60,000. These students are virtually ineligible for other
grants, scholarships or special targeted programs, yet their incomes prevent them
from pursuing career advancement or retraining to stay employed as their field
changes with new technology. Second, loans are provided to small trade, technology,
and service businesses in support of employee development, certification, and/or
retraining so that these business can continue to prosper. Top

Bradley Fall Link 2007 






The McDonald Bradley Fall Link was held at the Ritz
Carlton at Tyson's Corner, Virginia, on Tuesday, October 30, 2007. The LINK is
held twice a year. The underlying theme of the Link was Community Service and
McDonald Bradley recognized its associates who provide service to the community.

the cocktail area highlighting many of the community service projects our associates
are involved in. In the meeting hall a video was played, again highlighting all
the activities and charities our associates are involved in; the video showcased
the broad range of charities our associates are involved in and it truly did bring
to light the fact that our associates, and our company have a large impact on
the community; more so than one realizes. Special recognition was also given to
our men and women in uniform - both currently serving their country and those
who have retired from service. A number of associates were recognized for Five
