CYFA (CENTER FOR YOUTH AND FAMILY ADVOCACY)

Last night, CYFA took our crew to the Capital Court (aka Capital One Arena) for an epic game between the Wizards and the Nets! ???? It was more than just watching basketball—it was about bonding, cheering together, and catching that game-day energy. From the first tip-off to the final buzzer, we were all in, feeling the hype and soaking in every moment. ?? We’re all about teamwork, connection, and pushing limits—just like the players on the court. Big shoutout to the Wizards for the insane game and to #TeamCYFA for bringing the heat! ?? Let’s keep the momentum going and keep striving for greatness. ?? #CYFA #Teamwork #CapitalOneArena #WizardsVsNets #GameNightVibes ##WashingtonWizards ##dcsports #dmv

GO #NATS! ???? A huge shot out to the @nationals for granting CYFA an opportunity to share an evening at #NatsPark with local teens participating in CYFA's programs! We were so excited to cheer for our beloved home team, gain a better understanding of baseball and our national pastime, and experience the profession at its highest level. It was a memorable experience for all, especially as we left with THREE balls from the game!! Thank you @nationals for your continued support of local organizations that are dedicated to giving back to our communities. We are forever grateful! #natitude
