The Osteogenesis Impefecta Foundation hosted its “DC Fine Wines, Strong Bones, Annual Mardi Gras Gala” at the National Gaylord Convention Center in Maryland on March 1.
The heartwarming event featured a New Orleans-style celebration with a zydeco band and dancing — along with a roulette casino table and, of course, French Creole food. There was a live auction for funding dedicated to additional research and awareness for this disease, commonly known as brittle bone, a disease that occurs at birth.
It was truly a night of community celebration and charity for all in attendance.
