HEMINGTON GIVES BACK.
At Hemington, philanthropy isn’t just a part of our corporate responsibility – it’s a reflection of our core values and our commitment to creating lasting, positive change for as many people as possible. In addition to corporate initiatives, we encourage our team members’ involvement in community service projects of their choice by providing paid leave for their activities.
Northern Virginia Science Center
For every client who responded to Hemington’s recent Client Survey, we pledged a donation to the Northern Virginia Science Center, a world-class, interactive science center soon to break ground in Loudoun County. The interactive museum is the project of a partnership between the Children’s Science Center and the Science Museum of Virginia.
Boulder Crest Foundation
Hemington recently completed a three-year financial commitment to this nationally-recognized organization serving members of the military, veterans, first-responders, and their families. Boulder Crest’s vision is to transform mental health care by training survivors of traumatic events how to thrive and experience lifelong Posttraumatic Growth.
Friends of the Children
In honor of its clients for the 2024 holiday season, Hemington made a donation to Friends of the Children, a national organization that impacts generational change by empowering youth who are facing the greatest obstacles. Friends of the Children provides youth, from as early as age 4 through high school graduation, with sustained relationships with professional mentors.
Steven Cherry Volunteers at QuestBridge Event
In May, Steven volunteered at a charitable event in downtown Chicago hosted by Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) in collaboration with QuestBridge, a national nonprofit that connects high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds with transformative educational, career, and life opportunities, aiming to propel them toward lives of fulfillment, meaning, and purpose. During the event, Steven facilitated a roundtable discussion and provided basic financial planning assistance, helping to make complex financial concepts more accessible to the attendees.
Cole DeLucas and Carrie Leinbach participated in Stone Bridge High Schools’s Investment Club Financial Professional Speaker Series.
Their virtual class, The Basics of Investing, included understanding taxes, best practices for budgeting, and general saving recommendations, while also highlighting the impact of asset allocation choice and the benefits of compound interest, global diversification and being a disciplined investor.
