THANK YOU
Here’s to HOPE.
SCAN’s annual fundraising gala, Toast to Hope, is about coming together as a community to stand up for abused, neglected, and high-risk youth.
Our supporters are truly special. They are selfless, caring individuals devoted to protecting our community’s most vulnerable youth. As a survivor-led organization of child advocates, we know firsthand what it takes to make families, schools, and communities safer for the next generation.
Our supporters make that work a reality. Toast to Hope is our thank you to the donors that put vulnerable kids first.
ONE MISSION
End child abuse in Northern Virginia.
Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) of Northern Virginia is the only region-wide organization focused solely on preventing child abuse and neglect across Northern Virginia. Keeping children safe and helping them thrive requires a continuum of prevention programs that engage and empower families, professionals, and community members.
SUPPORTING SURVIVORS
Children removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect face a profound unknown. We stay with them until they reach safe, supportive homes to heal.
STRENGTHENING FAMILIES
For resilient single mothers, intimate partner violence survivors, or parents working several jobs to make ends meet, SCAN provides a safe space to work through parenting challenges.
BREAKING THE CYCLE
We know child abuse can be prevented. We partner at local, state, and national levels to make child abuse prevention a reality.
HONORING CHILD CHAMPIONS

The Cleary Award was created to honor SCAN’s founder and Alexandria Living Legend, Dave Cleary, and recognize both individuals and organizations whose dedication and commitment to children and families stand out in ways that make a positive difference in the lives of children in Northern Virginia.
