On Saturday, August 12th we had the pleasure of participating in the annual Girls’ Night Out by Shawn Yancy fundraiser. We joined FOX News Anchor, Shawn Yancy and her girlfriends at the “Ultimate Party with a Purpose.” Our booth was set up flicking the night away as the event raised money for Safe Shores – The DC Children’s Advocacy Center. Safe Shores is a nonprofit organization dedicated to working with child victims of sexual and physical abuse in the DC.
GNO also collected backpacks and school supplies for middle and high school students on behalf of the Ivy Foundation of Washington DC. Guests enjoyed cocktails, small bites, pampering and shopping. Additionally, guests had a front-row view of an amazing runway show featuring innovative local designers.
