'Redskins All Stars' Teams With The House for the 2nd Annual Cinderella Ball

The Washington Redskins announced yesterday that they will be teaming with The House in its efforts to reach more students for the 2nd Annual Cinderella Ball.

In a press release Wednesday, April 25, the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation said that as part of this year's Redskins All Stars "300 area youth will be recognized for their hard work, dedication, and community spirit at the 7th annual Redskins All Stars Awards Ceremony on Friday, May 4, at FedEx Field."

Members of the team will be joining the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation and the Freddie Mac Foundation in the presentation of grants to top D.C.-area nonprofit organizations.

The Redskins All Stars program, an initiative of the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation, recognizes and encourages community service and teamwork among area youth. Groups of children between the ages of 5 and 18, along with their youth leaders, coaches, teachers and parents, are eligible to participate in the program.

According to the foundation, the nonprofit organizations being honored were selected from hundreds of area organizations. The organizations receiving grants demonstrated creativity, uniqueness, and the spirit of community service.

The House is honored and humbled to receive the Redskins All Stars grant from the foundation for this year's Cinderella Ball. Last year, 100 youth created an evening for students with disabilities and their families. The night was dubbed "A Cinderella Ball," and it enabled many students who could not participate in their school social activities a night to be honored and celebrated. The grant money will be used to double the amount of youth that are able to attend the event.
