“Light Up The Season,” the annual community fundraising event benefiting Children’s National Hospital, will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 15, at the Four Seasons Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Georgetown.

But you can view the designer Christmas trees, Hanukkah menorah and other holiday décor in the hotel’s lobby right now — and purchase those very items later to benefit Children’s National.
