Children’s Ball!
We also went to the 8th annual Children’s Ball for an elegant black-tie evening benefiting Children’s National Medical Center at the Ritz Carlton. Guests walked the red carpet wearing white and black gowns and tuxes. We snapped Chef Geoff’s Geoff Tracy and his wife CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell, and Ball co-chairs Fox News’ Bret Baier and his wife Amy.
All proceeds went to shaping the future of pediatric medicine and ensuring the best possible treatment for every child at Children’s National. Here, Ball co-chairs, UAE Ambassador to the US Yousef Al Otaiba and his wife Abeer, whose daughter was treated there.
Guests mingled at the cocktail reception tasting mini crab cakes, seafood ceviche, and spicy tuna tartare before world-renowned celebrity chefs Wolfgang Puck and Nobu Matsuhisa prepared a lavish dinner for 900. Here, Children’s National CEO Dr. Kurt Newman and his wife Alison, and Board member Alex Barron and his wife Tahneena.
The party continued through the night with dancing and entertainment by Jennifer Hudson, who wouldn't allow photos. Here, Etihad Airways’ Geert Boven and Ray Gammell, surrounding their wives, Dieuwke and Louise.
