On Saturday, April 25th, Children’s Hospital in Washington, DC hosted its annual “Children’s Ball” at The Anthem—a truly inspiring evening celebrating the remarkable individuals and organizations that champion their life-saving mission.
We are beyond honored to announce that Van Metre Companies received the prestigious “Joseph E. Robert, Jr., Prize in Philanthropy” during this special event. This award is presented annually to a group that exemplifies extraordinary dedication to philanthropy.
Rick Rabil, Principal at Van Metre Companies, proudly accepted the award on behalf of the company and the Van Metre family, including Chairman Beau Van Metre and Director and Trustee Alison Van Metre Paley.
This recognition is a testament to the collective efforts of our owners, team members, and The Van Metre Companies Foundation. Together, we are making a meaningful impact and helping to save lives. Congratulations to everyone who made this possible!
