Event Description

Our Chapter focuses on enabling the intelligence missions of today and tomorrow through education and investment in talented people. A major part of that mission is giving back to our local community through STEM scholarships, grants, and educational support for local students, teachers, and schools. This year, our signature fundraiser returns as Play It Forward, this November, bringing together members of the defense, intelligence, military, and industry communities for an evening of networking, games, and fundraising in support of these efforts. 


Dress code: Casual. Please wear red, white, and blue, or apparel supporting your favorite military branch. Wearing branch apparel will earn you credits toward games
