Toll Road Investors Partnership II, L.P., owner of the Dulles Greenway, will hold its third annual Drive for Charity on Thursday, May 15.  Tolls collected on May 15 will be donated to the March of Dimes and five other charities.  Last year’s event raised more than $182,000.  This year’s goal is $200,000.  Funding from last year’s event enabled the March of Dimes to start a NICU Family Support project at Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children and provide support materials to Inova Loudoun Hospital.
