University Row at the Virginia Gold Cup Races. Lauded by the Washington Post as the "primary social area" along North Rail, University Row is back for a ninth straight year. Last year's gathering featured a record involvement of 55 alumni groups and sold out more than two weeks before Gold Cup. This year 66 alumni groups are participating, including two new Anchors: Fordham and Villanova. All-inclusive tickets feature open bar, catered fare, and round trip bus transportation from Ballston. Organized by the Alumni Events Alliance, tickets provide full access to all 11 Row tents. Sales will begin soon, and since last year's waiting list grew to over 500 requests before it was shut down, please be aware that availability is limited. See the official Website at http://www.universityrow.org for news, reviews, photos, videos, history, roster, and more. All proceeds benefit the non-profit missions of participating AEA member organizations.

A Washington tradition for more than 20 years, this year’s ZooFari is a Savanna Soirée, celebrating the Zoo’s many African animals, including African lions, cheetahs, and scimitar-horned oryx. Sweepstakes, silent auction, and food and drink from more than 100 restaurants, caterers, and vintners. Musical acts playing everything from jazz and R & B to big band and acoustic guitar on five stages throughout the park. Last year's ZooFari raised more than $300,000.
