Combined with the support of our Sponsors and Benefactors, their tireless efforts have ensured our ability to support this year’s charities—the Bishop Walker School for Boys, Building Bridges Across the River, and the Founder’s Board of St. John’s Community Services — each of which provides exceptional service for at-risk children and families throughout the Washington, DC, community.
