15th Annual St. Jude Gourmet Gala: Mardi Gras for the Kids!
The National Building Museum was the luxe setting for one of the largest events in D.C. that supports children suffering from catastrophic and life-threatening diseases. In addition to a silent auction, many of D.C.’s finest restaurants offered a taste of some of the areas most decadent delights. The Gourmet Gala is organized by a committee that has helped raise more than $3 million for St. Jude and has helped support various programs including gene therapy, bone marrow transplants, immunology and AIDS vaccine research.
