On November 20, 2025, Carr Properties gathered friends, associates, and industry partners for the 7th annual Carr Cares Benefit Concert — an evening filled with music, inspiration, and generosity. With the support of 73 sponsors, we raised over $412,000 to benefit the Washington Jesuit Academy (WJA) and the Washington School for Girls (WSG), two schools that provide all‑scholarship programs designed to open doors for students across Washington, DC.
Since its launch in 2018, the concert has raised more than $2.3 million to fuel the missions of WJA and WSG. These funds directly support mentorship, academic excellence, and opportunities that change the trajectory of young lives in underserved communities.
This year’s program featured a soulful performance by Grammy‑nominated band Southern Avenue, whose blues‑infused sound set the tone for a night of celebration. Guests also heard powerful reflections from alumni London Hall (WSG, Class of 2015) and Daryl Johnson Jr. (WJA, Class of 2017). London, now a Project Manager at the Government Services Administration, and Daryl, an Assistant Manager at Vector Marketing, spoke about how their experiences at WSG and WJA shaped their careers and supported their journey of success — underscoring the lasting impact of these schools.
This year’s success would not have been possible without the incredible support of our sponsors, donors, and associates. A special thank you to our Diamond Sponsor, Red Coats, Inc. and Admiral Security Services, whose commitment played a vital role in reaching this milestone.
The Carr Cares Benefit Concert goes beyond fundraising — it is a testament to the power of education and community. As we honor this year’s success, we remain inspired to keep building opportunities, strengthening connections, and making a lasting difference for generations to come.
