Buy A Lady A Drink!

Last night, we headed to the Belgian Ambassadors' Residence on Foxhall Road for an exclusive reception for the global partnership of Stella Artois’ “Buy a Lady a Drink” campaign. 

We snapped the evening's host, Belgian Ambassador Dirk Wouters with Water.Org's Julie LaGuardia and Capital Eagle President Neal Katcef. 

The reception celebrated the partnership between Stella Artois and Water.org for their “Buy A Lady A Drink” campaign to help provide clean water for people in the developing world. Here, entrepreneur Lucien Zeigler joins Top Chef and Belgian restaurateur in D.C. Bart Vandaele while enjoying the gorgeous summer evening. 

One in 10 people in the developing world lacks access to safe water, with the problem disproportionately affecting women and children, who spend millions of hours a day collecting water instead of working, caring for family or attending school. That's the motivation behind the campaign. Here, ALC Hospitality's Alyse Cohen joins Neighborhood Retail Group's Bethany Kazaba and Michelle Obama's makeup artist, Carl Ray. 

Guests enjoyed an open bar of Stella Artois beer and their Cidre cider as well as Belgian-inspired hors d'oeuvres. Here, The Washington Ballet's Morgann Rose with interior designer Aiden Niepold and Rillhurst Capital's Tereza Maik.
