Mayfair 2025 - Featured Pillar of Community
Friends of Friendship “Turtle” Park (FOFP) proudly salutes our Pillars of Community
Building Together, Shell by Shell
Today’s featured sponsor has been an anchor of the community since 1914!
As one of D.C.’s most respected institutions, American University stands as more than a place of learning—it’s a force for good in our local community. Whether it's supporting education, sustainability, or civic leadership, AU has long embodied the values that make Tenleytown and Turtle Park special.
Through student involvement, service learning, and deep engagement with neighbors and nonprofits, AU continues to show that building a better future happens one step, one relationship, one “shell” at a time.
This Mayfair, we proudly recognize American University as a Pillar of Community—thank you for investing in our neighborhood, and for inspiring generations to do the same.
