I am so grateful to the many individuals, manufacturers, and companies who generously donated to help me enhance this event with the special décor it so deserved. Among those who contributed:
Designer Workroom of Bethesda - Sincere thanks to you for making custom cushions for our VIP lounge stone benches! They were a HUGE hit and so are all of you! This truly is a gift that keeps on giving as they can be used annually for the event. 301-656-4020
Thank you Jason Dixon for capturing the feeling of inspiration and love in the room. You are talented, warm, and attentive.
Much appreciation to my wonderful Interns for helping and assisting with everything from floor plans to unpacking for the event. From left to right: Christian, Karla, Ginger, and Luc. Arnold and personal friend, Israel (not pictured). Thanks so much for your support.
A very special thanks to LaKisha Smith, of K. Joy’s Cake Pop. Lakisha jumped on board with no hesitation to support the event. Thank you for providing delicious pops that were custom made to represent all people beating cancer. I am your number one fan and you will be my go-to gal for birthday parties for years to come!
