Agent Mark Middendorf to sponsor charity event in support of ending child poverty

Long & Foster Real Estate Agent Mark Middendorf will sponsor a charity fundraiser from 5 to 8 p.m. on May 24 at the company’s offices at 4600 Lee Highway in Arlington, Virginia, to benefit a nonprofit whose goal is to alleviate child poverty.

Money raised will go to support Red Nose Day, an international charitable effort led by nonprofit Comic Relief, Inc. The group says it has raised more than $100 million in three years to combat child hunger, illness and poverty in the United States and around the world, with over 8 million kids helped so far. Learn more about the organization at rednoseday.org.

“We support Red Nose Day because it’s helping break the cycle of poverty,” Middendorf said. “We welcome everyone who wants to come out after work to support children in need – and enjoy some great food and entertainment at the same time.”

The open house event will include a silent auction, refreshments from Heidelberg Bakery, complimentary Champagne and live music with D.J. Valaree. Special appearances are also planned from former professional boxer Jimmy Lange, Adam Tuss, of NBC4 News, and Jim Angle, former broadcast news correspondent and host of the show Winemakers Uncorked, available on YouTube. Red noses will be available for $5 donation at the door.
