Thursday was the seventh annual “Drive for Charity,” during which all tolls from the Dulles Greenway went to charity. Benefiting groups included the March of Dimes, the Loudoun Abused Women’s Shelter and the Dulles Greenway Scholarship Program, which gives $1,500 scholarships to one senior at each Loudoun County high school.
This year’s organizers were hoping to raise $265,000 for charity, a new record for the event; last year the drive raised $235,000.
The Dulles Greenway is privately owned and connects Leesburg with the Dulles International Airport. Tolls during peak hours can go as high as $5.55 for cars.
