Winchester, VA Estate Planning & Elder Law Firm Supports Seton High School  

WINCHESTER, Virginia — McCarthy & Akers, PLC, a leading law firm focusing on Estate Planning, Elder Law, and Real Estate Law, was a sponsor of Seton High School’s 50th Anniversary Gala, which took place on November 1, 2024, at Foxchase Manor in Manassas. The event was a success, raising over $700,000 to support the school’s mission of providing quality education.

Matt Akers, a 1999 alumnus of Seton High School and a partner at McCarthy & Akers, was involved in the planning of this milestone celebration as a member of the Gala Committee. His dedication and commitment to his alma mater were instrumental in the event’s success. With its sponsorship, McCarthy & Akers demonstrated an ongoing commitment to supporting educational initiatives and community engagement.

According to the Catholic Herald, approximately 750 Seton School alumni, parents, teachers, and other guests celebrated with dinner, dancing, and fundraising. Organizers said the sold-out event also was held to thank God for “blessings without number and mercies without end” and to pay tribute to Anne Carroll, the school’s founder and executive director.

Bishop Michael F. Burbidge attended and expressed his gratitude that for five decades the independent school has provided parents in the diocese with “another opportunity to ensure their children have an authentic Catholic education.”

“Our involvement with Seton High School’s 50th Anniversary Gala was a personal and professional honor,” said Matt Akers. “As an alumnus, it felt rewarding to contribute to an event that celebrated the school’s rich history and ensured its future by providing much-needed funds. At McCarthy & Akers, we believe investing in education is investing in the future of our community.”

With the money raised, Seton High School plans to enhance its educational programs and facilities, ensuring continued excellence for current and future students.

McCarthy & Akers remains dedicated to making a positive difference in the communities it serves. The firm looks forward to continuing its partnership with Seton High School and other local organizations to promote community growth and development.
