Fair Chance has selected one of DC’s landmark locations to host its highly anticipated Butterfly Bash fundraising celebration this October. The nonprofit will host its annual affair at the Washington National Cathedral on Friday, October 19 at 7:00 p.m. This year’s event will recognize the Honorable Carlos M. Gutierrez, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, for his philanthropic and advocacy work as co-founder of TheDream.US. NBC4 TODAY morning anchor Eun Yang will emcee the ceremony.
The Butterfly Bash is Fair Chance’s signature event to raise funds and honor leaders committed to improving the lives of children and youth. Proceeds from the event allow Fair Chance to strengthen the sustainability and performance of community-based nonprofits to achieve life-changing results for children and youth living in poverty. Since 2002, Fair Chance has engaged more than 100 nonprofits and reached 80,000 children, youth and families in Washington, DC.
The Butterfly Bash will welcome 700 guests and more than 50 corporate sponsors for an evening of live music, dancing, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. For more information on Fair Chance and the Butterfly Bash, visit: www.fairchancedc.org or call 202-467-2428.
