HERNDON, Va. — Northwest Financial Advisors (NWFA) is pleased to announce its financial support of the Metropolitan School of the Arts’ (MSA) programs.

The Metropolitan School of the Arts is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization relying on donations from caring sponsors to fulfill its mission to change the world through arts education and performance. NWFA donated $5k to the school for the third consecutive year, demonstrating its commitment to the education and future aspirations of young performing artists and to the performing arts as a vital part of community enrichment.  

NWFA’s President and CEO Kevin Fisher said, “This sponsorship is a great way to show our support for the community especially during the holidays. The Metropolitan School of the Arts’ holiday dance shows not only bring cheer to the public but are free which is significant to families struggling through these challenging economic times. This, and to support young performing artists, is why we continue to sponsor this terrific organization.” 

“Our Metropolitan Follies Broadway-style revue is one of our favorite traditions where we spread holiday cheer in our local communities, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to present these live performances.
