There were cheers all around during last week’s charity bingo night at the Arlington Rooftop Bar & Grill. Hosted by Long & Foster | Christie’s International Real Estate’s Arlington and Falls Church/Arlington offices and its Arlington Gives committee, the fundraiser brought together over 150 residents—many of them Realtors with Long & Foster—to support the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (APAH) and play a few rounds of bingo.

In total, more than $5,000 was raised for APAH, supporting its invaluable mission to increase the number of affordable rental housing units in Arlington County and the surrounding areas. As a real estate company, affordable housing has been a longtime focus for Long & Foster | Christie’s, and that commitment resonated with the Arlington Gives committee, which selected APAH as its charitable partner this year.

“With increasing home prices, affordable housing in the Arlington area is more of a challenge than ever before, and that’s why our team at Long & Foster | Christie’s chose to support APAH in our philanthropic efforts this year,” said Kara Chaffin Donofrio, managing broker of the Arlington office. “Not only does APAH help preserve quality and affordable places to live, but also they provide opportunities for their residents and help advocate for the communities they serve.”

This was the second fundraiser that Long & Foster’s Arlington Gives committee hosted for APAH this year. The team held a fitness day fundraiser in February, and it is planning other events this year.
