Future of America Gala!
Friday we went to the third annual Future of America Gala at the Carnegie Institute. Proceeds support David Pattinson’s American Future, dpaf, work connecting unemployed youth with career planning resources. We snapped Audienti’s Quin Woodward Pu and artist Jacob Alphin.
Miss District of Columbia Haely Jardas is with David Pattinson, who launched his new book We The Future - How Young People Can Thrive in the Post-Recession Era, on unemployment and underemployment among young people.
Guests enjoyed a full open bar, delicious hors d’oeuvres from RX Catering, music from The Scarlet Band & DJ Esso, stations from Trunk Club and StyleMeBar, and an after-party at The Huxley. Here, CBRE’s Kelly Smith, Lizzie D Music’s Lizzie Dean, The Madison president Kaitlyn Reilly, and Kirkland & Ellis’ Ali Krukowski.
Lorton Community Action Center’s Ryan Brown, Context Partners’ Whitney Stewart and Ford Agency’s Kirsten Fritz.
