Thank you for Making
Cedars and Dogwoods a Success
Thank you for joining us and supporting our fundraiser for the Lebanese Red Cross.
Together, we raised $7,250 in total support to help advance critical humanitarian programs across Lebanon.
We were honored to welcome 40 guests from across our community for an evening dedicated to connection, generosity, and action. Direct donations to the Lebanese Red Cross accounted for 58% of total funds raised, demonstrating the strong commitment of our attendees to supporting relief efforts where they are needed most.
In addition, community donations, raffle participation, and cedar sapling purchases generated more than $3,000 in additional support, helping expand the overall impact of the event.
The funds raised will help strengthen access to food assistance, emergency response services, healthcare, and blood donation programs throughout Lebanon.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, contributed raffle items, or helped spread the word. Your support made this event possible, and your generosity will help provide meaningful assistance to communities across Lebanon.
Thank you for being part of this effort.
With gratitude,
The Cedars & Dogwoods Team

Rooted in Lebanon, Growing in Virginia
The Cedars and Dogwoods fundraiser brought together friends, family, and our local community in support of the Lebanese Red Cross. The cedar, a symbol of Lebanon, and the dogwood, rooted here in Virginia, reflect the connection between where we come from and where we are today. Though many of us are far from home, we remain deeply connected, and through this event, we raised funds to provide essential aid and support to those who need it most.
