Charity Information
This year, the race benefits Beat the Odds.
Loudoun’s “Beat The Odds” scholarship program operates through the 501(c)3 non-profit Loudoun Bar Foundation and recognizes and rewards the achievement and success of Loudoun students who have overcome significant life obstacles by rising above challenges such as poverty, abuse, illness, addiction, and involvement in the legal system. Since its inception, Loudoun’s “Beat the Odds” committee has awarded more than half a million dollars in scholarship funds to young adults who have “beaten the odds” to achieve their higher education or trade educational goals after high school graduation. The program’s scholarship recipients have succeeded academically – with many achieving post-graduate degrees – and individually as community leaders and role models for those facing adversity in the greater Loudoun community.
The Loudoun Bar Foundation formed in 1999 with the mission of advancing the role of the legal profession through supporting scholarship and educational initiatives throughout the Greater Loudoun Community. In addition to the “Beat the Odds” scholarship program, the Foundation supports the annual Thomas D. Horne Leadership in the Law Camp for rising high school juniors, an annual charitable food drive, and other initiatives within the Loudoun legal community.
