Saturday’s Black Tie at the Four Seasons honored Jeff Zell of JM Zell Associates. It included cocktails and one of the city’s best silent auctions, a dinner and live auction, followed by dancing to a local disc jockey. MSNBC‘s Norah O’Donnell served as Mistress of Ceremonies, while the renowned auctioneer Tom Weschler called off the live auction.
This year’s top sponsors included Belfort Furniture, Korn Ferry International, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, National Geographic, Jim Bell and the Bank of Georgetown. This year’s gala co-chairs were Allison O’Connor, Kerry Troup and Staci Walkes.
Starlight MidAtlantic helps seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities. The foundation softens the hard edges of what a family experiences when a child has a serious illness all along their journey, from the time of diagnosis all the way through, in the hospital and at home. Starlight MidAtlantic focuses on the children of DC, DE, MD, PA, VA and WV.
