[Party Pix] Washington Tennis & Education Foundation’s ‘Share the Love’ Gala

The Washington Tennis and Education Foundation hosted its ‘Share the Love’ Gala at the Waldorf Astoria earlier this month.

More than $700,000 was raised at this annual fundraiser to benefit the work of the organization, which provides children and youth from Wards 7 & 8 a safe and trusting environment as well as tennis and education programs.

Mayor Muriel Bowser was awarded the Share The Love Award for her commitment to ensuring the youth of Washington, D.C. have the programs and educational opportunities they need to excel.

In addition to honoring adult and youth leaders in the community, WTEF announced a new two-year Community Champions Partner – Mubadala Investment Company — a partnership to impact the lives of hundreds of youth in the nation’s capital.

Tennis dignitaries and supporters gathered to help the mission of WTEF.  Famous auctioneer Max Wolf activated the crowd with an energetic Live Auction and Fund-the-Future Paddle Raise.  And DC’s own, The Original Moonlighters, provided entertainment to close out the evening.
