The 29th Annual Lombardi Gala to benefit Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center was held at the Washington Hilton Oct. 24. The evening began with a cocktail reception and silent auction followed by dinner, raffle, award presentations and dancing. The Margaret L. Hodges Leadership Award, named for the gala’s founder, was presented to Washington Area Lexus Dealers for their generous support, including this year’s raffle of a new 2015 Lexus RC 350 F Sport with proceeds to benefit cancer research. The 2015 NFL Players Association Georgetown Lombardi Award went to Cincinnati Bengals player Devon Still for his dedication to and support of his daughter Leah, who is fighting neuroblastoma.
