Since its inception in 2006, the event has contributed over $200,000 to its chosen causes and continues to support each cause as “Legacy Charities.”

This second-generation Washingtonian has an extensive network of friends and associates in the capital region’s fashion, art, philanthropic, business and political arenas.
