Knock Out Abuse!
Last night we partied for a cause at a happy hour with the Junior Board members of Knock Out Abuse Against Women at Teddy & The Bully Bar. KOA has helped women and children affected by domestic violence for 21 years; the Jr. Board engages the younger generation to raise awareness. We snapped You Successful You’s Jana Sedlakova, and Jr. Board co-vice chair Kadrieka Maiden and chairwoman Elle Arlook.
All proceeds benefit shelters for victims whose lives have been devastated by abuse. Here, KOA Jr. Board members Jessie Barnes, Tiffanie Wagner, and Vildana Sunni Puric.
Guests networked and tasted watermelon tuna tartare, peaches wrapped in prosciutto, and sautéed sprouts. Here, CI² Aviation’s Michael Baylis, SRA’s Kheira Benkreira, Krooth & Altman’s John Burns, and Discovery Communications’ Kimberly Brown.
VIP floor seats to a Washington Wizards game were raffled. Here, ODMPSJ’s Emile Thompson, Holland & Hart Foundation’s Deana Lewis, Cheryl Miller for MD’s Melissa Miller, KOA Jr. Board’s Ashley McNeil Coleman, and Georgetown University’s Jason McGowan.
