Party for Peace!
Last night we also kicked off March Madness at Capitale on K Street with PeacePlayers International’s Party for Peace. We snapped Mystics’ Eric Thibault, PeacePlayers’ exec director Brendan Tuohey, and former Clinton White House press secretary Joe Lockhart.
We watched St. Louis rally to beat NC State 83-80 in overtime. Here GRF co-workers Dylan Conklin, Alison Albrecht, and Michael Shaffer flank PeacePlayers staffer Taylor Brown.
PeacePlayers International is a non-profit that uses basketball to unite, educate, and inspire young people in divided communities. Since 2001, PPI has reached more than 60,000 youth, with work in Cyprus, Israel/West Bank, South Africa, and Northern Ireland. Here, sisters EMPEA’s Shannon Stroud and Dentons’ Megan Delany.
We enjoyed an open bar, appetizers from Hill Country BBQ, a special NCAA square competition, and silent auction featuring first row Nats tickets. Here, Brian Cognato, Brookings Institute’s Liz Cablich, musician Fatosh Arabacioglu, and PeacePlayers’ Adam Hirsch.
Richelle Manansala, Elizabeth Kennedy, Travis Holler, and Merjan Bubernack contributed to this issue.
