The annual Washington Humane Society dessert and champagne reception returns Wednesday, February 4, 2015 to the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. This event honors our local animal crusaders while raising critical funds to help care for the homeless pet population in our nation’s capital and is presented by Trade Center Management Associates, the operator of the Ronald Reagan Building.

NEW this year, hosts Chef Todd Gray and Ellen Kassoff Gray will kick off the event with an Exclusive Experience, open to only 50 guests! Guaranteed to please, this interactive experience starts at 6:00 p.m. If you love knowing how it’s made, join host Chef Todd Gray as he delights Exclusive Experience guests with a liquid nitrogen “dip-n-dots” demonstration station. Grab a scoop of freshly made dip-n-dots and see how nitrogen works to create these much-loved beads of confection. This Exclusive Experience also includes sugar pulling demonstrations by Co Co Sala, the opportunity to hand craft truffles with the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center’s own pastry chef, Shane Goettlicher, exclusive drinks from Cava’s very own mixologist Jason Gehring, and more! Tickets are $250 each, which also includes entry to both the VIP and general receptions.

The VIP Chefs’ Tasting Room provides guests with an elite savory gathering from 6:00pm – 8:00pm. Exquisite samplings will be prepared by the finest chefs in the region. A limited number of tickets are available for $150 each and include entry to the main event.

Doors to the general reception open at 7:00pm and tickets are $90 each. The area’s most talented pastry chefs will dazzle the senses with visionary works of edible art, gorgeous gourmet desserts, champagne, and some of the finest sparkling wines until 9:00pm.

Throughout the event, guests will be able to purchase Golden Tickets for the chance to win amazing once-in-a-lifetime prizes. Golden Tickets are just $50 each and only 250 will be sold onsite at the event.
