Knock Out Abuse/Fight Night: Charity Parties Collide

After the annual Fight Night and Knock Out Abuse philanthropy dinners, its an annual tradition for the guys and gals to meet up at the Ritz Carlton for some frisky fun.
This year, James L. Jones III (Fight Night Chair) led his entourage of men from the Washington Hilton – who had been scotching, cigaring and sparring over the annual boxing entertainment, all for childrens’ charities – to the Ritz Carlton, where the Jaci Wilson Reid’s (Knock Out Abuse Chair) group of women – who had been feting best selling novelist Linda Fairstein and combatting domestic violence – were anxiously awaiting.

Some 800 women in “St. Tropez Chic” and a larger number of tuxedoed men came together for a cash bar, lively dance floor and to relive the evening events’ major moments. 
Among those in attendance at the afterparty: Mayor Vincent Gray, chef Jose Andres, Cindy Jones, John Cecchi, Sharon Bradley, Winston Lord, Maggy O’Neill, and Councilmember Vincent Orange.
