NewsBash, the event founded by a collective of the Washington area’s top female news anchors across every network, announces the 12th annual NewsBash, returning on Tuesday, April 19 from 7:00-9:00pm at Pearl Street Warehouse at The Wharf (33 Pearl Street, Washington, DC 20024). Since 2010, supporters, survivors, politicos and friends have dressed in pink to come together for a cocktail event to spread awareness of the breast cancer charities and raise nearly $300,000 for these organizations.
This year’s event will benefit Breast Care for Washington, a breast imaging center based in DC’s Ward 8 that aims to make breast cancer screenings more accessible by overcoming the barriers that prevent low-income, medically underserved women in the DC region from receiving high-quality care. In addition to offering services such as initiation into screening, assistance with identifying eligibility for public assistance programs and post image navigating services (i.e. biopsies and surgical consult support), Breast Care for Washington serves as the only facility to offer state-of-the-art 3D mammography to the medically underserved population east of the Anacostia River, and is also the only mammography facility in the region that will screen any woman regardless of insurance status.
The NewsBash host committee includes well-known newswomen from the Washington metropolitan area’s top media affiliates. Hosts for the 2022 committee are:
-
From WJLA/ABC, Michelle Marsh, Ashlie Rodriguez, Veronica Johnson, Adrianna Hopkins, Melanie Hastings, Britt Waters, Alison Starling, Eileen Whelan, Olivia Garvey, Kellye Lynn and former anchor Rebecca Cooper Dupin.

Ursula Xanthe Young solo art show ‘Dreaming in Color’
Thu, Apr 21, 2022, 7:00 PM
Reception begins at 7pm
Artist will be in attendance
Dreaming in Color’ is an exploration of color & our senses. “I wanted to examine how color makes us feel on a multi-sensory and subconscious level; not only how different colors affect mood, memory or instinct, but also how a color might taste, feel or sound. As in many of my works this series also focuses on femininity, with women at the center of each piece, often surrounded by microcosms filled with natural elements that help define those senses – tiny worlds: dreams within dreams.
In this particular body of work I thought carefully about the space these pieces would be installed within. I created pieces that intentionally float on the canvases, much like the walls they’ll be mounted on, that float within the space. I wanted them to convey a feeling of weightlessness, adding to the dream-like quality of each piece, and allowing the viewer to tap into the multi-sensory qualities of them. My hope is that through this work, you’ll be fully able to dream in color.”
This Thursday, April 21, Bravo Summer House stars Kyle Cooke and Carl Radke will be at the new Ciel Social Club rooftop lounge for an exclusive Loverboy after party. Starting at 10pm, DC’s favorite new penthouse lounge and restaurant atop the AC Hotel will be serving up Loverboy’s famous canned sparkling hard tea and cocktails. In addition to the grab-and-go cans available at the event, the restaurant’s menu will feature rotating specialty craft cocktails incorporating the base ingredient of Loverboy, a gluten-free, zero sugar drink.
