18th Annual
Taste for Giving

On November 7, 2025, the Alexandria Rotary Foundation will host the 18th annual Taste for Giving at the Atrium Building in Alexandria.

We have re-established the Taste for Giving as a premier event, one not to miss in the Alexandria community – one that attracts over 225 attendees, wonderful area restaurants providing gourmet food and desserts, wine and beer offered by local breweries and wineries, a live auction, music, and most importantly, an enjoyable evening of being together to celebrate our city and to raise funds to help Alexandria based charities.

Alexandria charities need our support more than ever. The goal for Taste for Giving is twofold. First, to raise much needed funds for important causes, and second for the community to re-engage after a long time away from in person events by providing a wonderful evening of fun and fellowship.

STAY TUNED FOR INDIVIDUAL TICKETS 

For corporate sponsors, participation provides a valuable opportunity for local companies to show support for the non-profits and charities that serve the Alexandria community.  Sponsorship benefits include event tickets, post event advertising as well as your Company’s name and logo highlighted at the event.  For a full list of benefits, please see the package of sponsorship opportunities attached.

The Alexandria Rotary Foundation is a 501(C)(3) organization that supports Alexandria’s children, families and seniors via generous grants to numerous non-profits and charities each year.  Over $1.7 million has been donated in the last 17 years.

Please join us in supporting our citizens by completing and returning your sponsorship agreement form no later than October 10, 2025, to be included in all the event benefits.  This year more than ever, thank you for your support.
