Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garçon will celebrate his fourth annual White Party benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington (BGCGW) next Thursday, June 2. The rooftop soiree, for which guests are asked to wear white clothing from head to toe, will be held at the Millennium Building (1909 K St. NW) where local athletes, NFL executives, community leaders and Washington VIPs will rub elbows for a good cause.
Since becoming part of the Washington community, Garçon has committed himself to supporting at-risk youth in the D.C. area through his partnership with BGCGW. Last year, Garçon helped raise $106,000 for BGCGW, money that is earmarked to help foster a generation of innovative, talented future leaders nationwide.
“Organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington helped pave the path for my success,” Garçon says. “This event allows me to give back and say thank you to those dedicated to bettering the young adults who are the future leaders of our communities.”
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington President & CEO Pandit Wright looks forward to the White Party every year. “On behalf of the Clubs, this is one of our favorite events of the year! Pierre Garcon has been a generous and engaging role model for our kids and teens, said Wright. “Not only is it a great social occasion; the White Party allows us to showcase the winner of our Youth of the Year competition. This year’s winner is Miss Faith Moore from our Heiser Branch in Dumfries, VA.”
Guests at the White Party will enjoy a live auction, a performance by a surprise performer and plenty of complimentary Tito’s Handmade Vodka and D’ussé cock
Past high-profile White Party attendees include Washington Wizards star John Wall, Former D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray, hip-hop legend Biz Markie and dozens of Garcon’s teammates, including Kirk Cousins, Ryan Kerrigan, Colt McCoy and Niles Paul as well as former Redskins Doug Williams, Robert Griffin III, Kai Forbath and Brian Orakpo.
With the help of top sponsors The Tower Companies, Paisano’s Pizza, Burger 7 and Pita Pouch, Garçon intends to raise even more funds for the BGCGW and their causes.
