Chantilly, VA — Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc.’s Gold Team Board
of Directors, a group representing the Company’s top-producing real estate agents,

in Diana’s name is a wonderful way for people to remember this remarkable lady we
all loved so much while at the same time contributing to the fight against cancer."

the genetic and cellular origins of cancer and creating new, personalized treatments
for people suffering from this devastating disease.
