A Wider Circle Celebrates Community Leadership at 2025 Neighbor to Neighbor Night
A Wider Circle is set to honor both Bozzuto and Maryland Comptroller Brooke E. Lierman at the upcoming 2025 Neighbor to Neighbor Night, an annual fundraising gala dedicated to celebrating community leaders and supporting families striving for stability. The event will take place on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at The Ann Don Brown Center for Community Service, which is the headquarters of A Wider Circle located in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Every year, A Wider Circle presents the Corporate Circle of Community Champions Award to a partner who exemplifies a commitment to service and community impact. This year, they will be recognizing Bozzuto, a well-known real estate company celebrated for its innovative approach and outstanding customer service. Their partnership with A Wider Circle has spanned several years, during which they have contributed through volunteer initiatives, in-kind donations, and active participation in events like A Wider Circle's Home ReImagined celebration. "Bozzuto is a true partner in every sense of the word," remarked Amy Javaid, the President and CEO of A Wider Circle, emphasizing their shared values in serving the community.
In addition to the corporate award, Comptroller Brooke E. Lierman will receive the Circle of Community Champions Individual Award. As Maryland's first woman independently elected to a constitutional office, Lierman has a long-standing history as a civil rights attorney and legislator, and she has continually championed policies aimed at expanding opportunities and fostering inclusiveness within Maryland communities. "Her leadership reflects the very values at the heart of A Wider Circle's mission, ensuring that all neighbors have the opportunity to live with dignity, stability, and hope," Javaid stated, further highlighting Lierman's significant contributions.
Neighbor to Neighbor Night is more than just an award ceremony; it's a gathering of business leaders, community members, and supporters for an evening filled with inspiring stories, recognition of efforts, and a shared commitment to making a positive impact in the community. Proceeds from this event will directly support A Wider Circle's various programs, which aim to provide essential household items and career-support services to families in transition.
For those interested in attending or supporting the cause, tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available on A Wider Circle's website.
