About RECLAIMING: The HeART of Community
On Friday, October 15, 2021 at 6:30pm EST we celebrated the National Capital Region’s resilience with RECLAIMING: The HeART of Community – hosted by 15-year-old D.C. native, Drew Olivia Tillman, an outstanding young singer and rising Hollywood star.
We invite you to watch the all-star lineup of performances, youth entertainers, as well as enjoy the stories and partnership acknowledgments of NCCF.
Thank you to our wonderful Honorary Committee members, NCCF’s Board of Trustees, and our Sponsors for supporting a night of dancing, singing, and inspiring words and actions. We hope this broadcast will leave you with the spirit and enthusiasm that we channel every day in what we do!
