“As the brand ambassador for Mandarin Oriental, Washington D.C., I am excited to team up and assist in raising funds for a commendable organization like Serve Your City. Providing underprivileged youth in D.C. with life-changing experiences, many of which are offering access to sports and costly equipment, is dear to my heart,” stated Andi Sullivan, captain of the Washington Spirit.
For more than a decade, Serve Your City, a non-profit organization, has provided life-changing experiences and opportunities for at-risk D.C. students. Serve Your City seeks to offer black and brown youth in Ward 6 with inspiring experiences, tutoring, after-school enrichment, and lifesaving support.
The fee to participate is USD 35 and includes snacks, a pre-run stretching session, FANtastic 5K commemorative t-shirt, post-run buffet breakfast, admission to Silent Auction, and awards.

Inspired by the bustling open-air night markets of East and Southeast Asia, Peter Chang of DC’s No Kings Collective creative agency and Events DC are teaming up to create the first annual REDEYE Night Market on November 6 in Washington, DC. REDEYE will occupy four blocks of Pennsylvania Avenue NW from 3rd through 7th Streets NW and bring together over 50 treasured local vendors to showcase an array of food and beverages like one might find at a night market abroad, including Filipino pastries, Taiwanese shaved ice, bao and Korean fried chicken. In addition to sampling signature dishes from celebrated local restaurants including Incheon, Tiger Fork, Maketto, China Chilcano, Thip Khao, Nihao, attendees will enjoy cultural and musical performances throughout the evening. Admission is free of charge with food and beverages available for purchase.
The REDEYE, set for 4 pm to 11 pm, is intended to serve as a celebration of Washington, DC’s rich AAPI community and to acknowledge the challenges and economic disenfranchisement that impacted small businesses across the nation in the past year.
“This past year was especially challenging for the AAPI community, as well as for the food industry. The REDEYE is a celebration of what we are overcoming together,” says Chang.
“The REDEYE Night Market is an incredible opportunity to celebrate our city’s diversity and showcase DC’s dynamic hospitality offerings,” said Greg O’Dell, president and CEO of Events DC. “We are thrilled to bring together residents, visitors and the AAPI community for an exceptional experience of authentic cuisine and culture from some of DC’s most well-known restaurateurs and performers.”
For details and a list of participants and performances, please visit: https://theredeye.
The REDEYE Night Market will be held in accordance with all health and safety protocols as outlined by the Executive Office of the Mayor and DC Department of Health.
