At DCG, the Fourth of July is more than just a day on the calendar. For our government clients, staff, and the people we serve, Independence Day marks a welcome pause in the year to reflect on our mission of serving vulnerable populations.
However you mark the holiday, we hope you find ways to celebrate that feel meaningful, refreshing, and fun.
Some of our team members are spending the long weekend in ways that recharge the spirit and make space for connection.
☀️ Canden Byrd is embracing a more laid-back vibe, heading to Carolina Beach with her family for some sand, sun, hot dogs, and well-earned relaxation. A little salty air and ocean breeze is the perfect combo for a holiday recharge.
👟 Kara Schiaparelli is trading the BBQ for a bib number this year. “This Fourth of July, I’m changing things up a bit,” she shared. “Instead of my usual routine of sleeping in and watching fireworks, my best friend and I are running the Firecracker 5K for the Troops in Reston, Virginia.” She’s been training through the thick of Virginia’s summer heat and is excited to honor the day with a mix of fitness and patriotism — plus, a post-race feast, of course.
🎤 Ashley Mason is turning up the volume and leaning into celebration. She’ll be attending the Beyoncé: Cowboy Carter Tour at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. For her, it’s all about music, memories, and making the most of the long weekend.
No matter how you’re spending it we hope your holiday weekend brings you joy, rest, and a little sparkle (from fireworks or otherwise). 🎇
Happy Independence Day from all of us at DCG!
