What a wonderful week! Thank you all for joining us for our virtual #HelpingChildrenSoar Benefit.

Thanks to your generosity, we raised more than $1.59 million – leaving us less than $10,000 from our $1.6 million goal. Every dollar will ensure we can help DC’s children weather this crisis – children like Elmer and Jonathan who you “met” during our Benefit.

Tonight, they will sleep safely in their own beds after we fought to make sure their landlord fixed mold that was growing in their home. And, Elmer is reunited with his service dog, Junior – all because of supporters like you.

You also heard from two fantastic leaders - our 2020 Distinguished Child Advocates, Dr. Christine Grady and her husband Dr. Anthony Fauci.

For those of you who couldn't join on our second night, watch the recording here:
