2025 Sip & Celebrate

On Thursday, April 17th, over 300 of our friends and neighbors joined us at our annual event to honor and thank Windy Hill’s past leaders. On behalf of the residents of Windy Hill’s 310 affordable homes, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our community for joining us in inducting our newest Emeritus members, Judy Washburn and Helen Wiley, while offering a special tribute to the lasting contributions of Lang Washburn and John Levis!

Our annual celebration is Windy Hill’s largest philanthropic event of the year. This fundraiser bolsters the Windy Hill mission, including supporting Resident Services programs aimed at enhancing the quality of life for families living in Windy Hill affordable housing communities in Loudoun and Fauquier counties.

Through sponsorships, ticket sales, and donations made at the event, we raised over $275,000! Attendees also had the opportunity to learn about Windy Hill’s three campaigns, which will provide the funding necessary for our Foundation to continue to flourish: (1) The Education Fund, (2) The Home Repair Fund, and (3) The Emergency Needs Fund.

During the event, Windy Hill Board Member Mitch Voss and his wife Suzanne generously pledged a $20,000 donation match for the Education Fund. They emphasized the challenges that low-income residents face in pursuing further education. The Education Fund aims to provide tuition support for early childhood education, vocational training, college, and continuing education courses, empowering both residents and their children to bolster their education and thrive. From the funds raised at our 2024 celebration, Windy Hill supported 11 residents, with two residents receiving their Certified Nursing Assistance license.

In support the Foundation’s Emergency Needs Fund, Sip & Celebrate Chair, and Windy Hil Co-President Shannon Davis and her husband Jim pledged a benevolent match of $20,000. The Emergency Needs Fund is designed to aid residents during their most critical moments, such as unforeseen medical expenses, car repairs, or utility bills.

Continuing the spirit of generosity, steadfast Windy Hill supporter, Monoflo International, Inc., offered a match of $25,000 to be designated to our Home Repair Fund. This critical fund aids in the refurbishment of our aging homes and the maintenance of our Windy Hill properties. Thanks to Monoflo’s support, in 2024 and 2025 Windy Hill has been revitalizing its oldest properties known as The Cottages on Windy Hill Road in Middleburg.

Thanks to your generosity and support, these funds will enable us to maintain Windy Hill’s homes, offer educational opportunities to our residents, and allow us to respond to their needs – be it food, medical, educational, rent, or utility expenses for both children and adults.
