Nationals Park

The Project Blackbird Gala is an unforgettable evening dedicated to youth mental health. It brings together philanthropic leaders, athletes, advocates, and community members to celebrate Joy — and to ensure that young people can find joy again when it may feel out of reach. Together, we are funding free therapy, mental-health education, and direct support for youth who need it most.
Special guests for the evening include Leigh Steinberg, a legendary sports agent, philanthropist, and author, widely known as the real-life inspiration behind the film "Jerry Maguire." He will receive the Golden Wings Award for his work raising awareness around brain health, addiction recovery, and the long-term impact of concussions — using his platform to reduce stigma and expand access to care.

Peter Revello is a standup comedian, actor and writer based in New York City. Born and raised in Staten Island, Peter developed his comedic sensibilities by simultaneously trying to fit in and stand apart from NYC’s most respected borough. Peter’s upbringing led him to seek strangers' validation on a nightly basis. Some nights he achieves this goal. Peter recently made his late night debut on "The Tonight Show," is a regular at The Comedy Cellar, and has starred in a number of sketches for Comedy Central. Peter also has been described as a generous lover. These shows are his DC Improv headlining debut!

Arlington Language School Marks 40th Anniversary

ICA Language Services

ICA Language Services (ICA), a family-owned, woman-led small business based in Arlington, is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking decades of supporting the U.S. military and diplomatic community through language training and testing. Founded in April 1986 as Inlingua Foreign Language Center, a 6-classroom language school, ICA expanded under the leadership of Deidre Doyle, an entrepreneur with a background in organizational management who joined the company the same year. As a military spouse, she had developed a deep understanding of military organizations and culture, helping shape ICA into a trusted provider of language training and testing for military professionals. Doyle became a partner in 1993 and sole owner in 2009, when she changed the name to ICA Language Services. Today, ICA operates a 60+ classroom schoolhouse in Rosslyn and has delivered nearly five million hours of language instruction and more than 30,000 language assessments across 120+ languages. ICA also provides training on military bases throughout the US and abroad. The company is now led by President and CEO Lexie Casey, Doyle’s daughter, who joined ICA in 2009 after a decade in government contracting. Casey became a partner in 2014 and assumed day-to-day leadership in 2015, when Doyle transitioned to Chair of the Board. ICA has employed more than 1,300 individuals from 131 countries, often providing a first job in the United States for language professionals. Certified by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, ICA provides proficiency- and performance-based language training and testing services supporting diplomacy, security, and global engagement.
