Burke & Herbert Bank representatives presented Northern Virginia Family Service (NVFS) with a check for $28,800 at the conclusion of the Bank’s annual Goals for Good Program. The amount is the highest presented to an organization in the program’s ten-year history. NVFS amassed this sum by receiving $100 from the Bank for each goal scored by the Washington Capitals during the 2024-2025 National Hockey League (NHL) regular season.

“Thanks to a great hockey year, we’re delighted to provide our highest donation in our Goals for Good program’s ten-year history to Northern Virginia Family Service,” said David Boyle, Burke & Herbert Bank Chief Executive Officer, “NVFS is doing the heroic work needed to build self-sufficiency and empower our local neighbors in need.
