More than 300 guests gathered at the Willard Hotel March 3 to benefit the Bishop Walker School for Boys, a tuition-free school for boys from low-income communities, east of the Anacostia River. The dinner featured remarks from Ron Suskind, author of “Hope in the Unseen,” and a surprise appearance by Cedric Jennings, the Ballou High School student featured in the book.
