Trust for the National Mall Annual Luncheon


Philanthropists, business leaders, government officials, diplomats and some of the best dressed and behatted guests converged May 2 to admire the ongoing restoration of what Trust for the National Mall Chairman Chip Akridge called “the crown jewel of America” that had fallen into disrepair. To great applause, keynote speaker Jonathan Browning, president and CEO of Volkswagen USA, announced that VW was donating $10 million to ensure that the grass will be green for the 25 million visitors to the National Mall each year.
