April 2021: Bonaventure Celebrates Earth Day
Earth Day is an opportunity for individuals and organizations like Bonaventure to join forces to create a greener planet. But how much do you know about its history and impact? Earth Day was founded in 1970 – and it led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts.
In support of Earth Day and Earth Month, we encourage our team members, residents, and partners to take eco-friendly daily actions like reducing paper waste, carpooling to decrease emissions, and recycling or reusing whenever possible. When we all make it a habit to support the environment each and every day, we can make a positive impact to preserve the planet for future generations.
To celebrate Earth Day, we shared daily tips on our social media pages throughout the week of April 22. In addition, many Bonaventure communities took part by providing Earth Day Kits to their residents. The kits included seeds, soil, and a care guide to keep their DIY potted plants and flowers blooming – and make their homes and communities just a bit more beautiful.
April 2021: Run to Rebuild 2021
Run, walk, or roll with Bonaventure to support Rebuilding Together DC Alexandria!

We’re proud to invite you to join our team for Run to Rebuild 2021. It’s a virtual 5K to support homeowners with low incomes in getting the critical home repairs they need to stay safe and healthy at home.
The past year has demonstrated the importance of a safe, healthy home more than ever. We’ve all stayed home in isolation, doing our part to follow public health guidelines. But the truth is, home simply isn’t safe for many of our neighbors.
Rebuilding is everyone’s responsibility. Join our fundraising team in this virtual event, and help us support our neighbors in creating the healthy, safe homes that every member of our community deserves.
