The countdown is on! The Northern Virginia Chapter of the National Hampton Alumni Association returns this spring with our annual fundraiser, presented in 2026 as Anchored in Excellence: A Scholarship Soirée.

Anchored in Excellence is an evening of celebration honoring the impact of giving back, expanding access to education through scholarships, and collective support for Hampton students. The event will take place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 7:00 - 11:00pm, at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.

Guests can expect an evening that blends meaningful impact with music and mingling in a vibrant, art-filled setting.

Guests may participate by:

• Reserving individual tickets or tables
  
• Supporting the event through a Friend of Hampton donation
  
• Purchasing a Legacy Book ad
  

Business sponsorship opportunities are available by inquiry. To learn more, please email soiree@nova-nhaainc.org.

Proceeds from Anchored in Excellence support scholarships awarded to students from the Northern Virginia area who are attending Hampton University, helping to ensure continued access to opportunity through education.

We look forward to celebrating with you.
