5th Annual White Party @ Decades
Jun 2 @ 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM

Washington Redskins teammates — cornerback Josh Norman and tight end Vernon Davis — announce that they will co-host the fifth annual White Party benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington (BGCGW) and Norman’s Starz24 Foundation.

The highly anticipated summer soiree, originated by former Redskins player Pierre Garçon and with a head-to-toe all-white dress code, is taking place on Saturday, June 2 at Decades (1219 Connecticut Avenue NW). The sleekly-decorated rooftop boasts palm trees, tropical plants and greenery-covered privacy walls across the 2,500-square foot space, making for the perfect backdrop for the evening.

Local pro athletes, NFL executives, community leaders and Washington VIPs will rub elbows for a good cause, helping to raise money for BGCGW and Starz24 that will foster a new generation of innovative and talented future leaders nationwide.

“As a native Washingtonian, I have always wanted the best for my city, so giving back in this way is personally important for me,” says Davis. “It feels amazing knowing that our event will help make dreams come true for some of Washington’s best and brightest kids.”

“My Starz24 Foundation is all about developing future skills in our young people and the White Party will help us widen that reach,” adds Norman. “When Vernon and I talked about teaming up to make this event a reality, I knew we could have a real impact by working together.”

The White Party will feature a premium open bar, passed hors d’oeuvres donated by Barcode and a live auction.

“As a longtime Washingtonian and diehard Redskins fan, I was excited about the opportunity to partner with my team for a good cause and serve as the title sponsor for this year’s event,” says Antonis Karagounis, owner of Decades and Barcode. “We’re always here to help our community, and the work these two foundations do in this region is remarkable. We can’t wait to host Vernon, Josh and their teammates in the name of philanthropy.”
Past high-profile White Party attendees include Washington Wizards star John Wall, Former D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray, hip-hop legends Biz Markie and DJ Kool and dozens of fellow Redskins players, including Ryan Kerrigan, Trent Williams, Morgan Moses and Colt McCoy as well as former Redskins Joe Theismann, Kirk Cousins, Doug Williams, Robert Griffin III, Niles Paul, Chris Baker, Kai Forbath and Brian Orakpo among others.

With the help of top sponsors, Norman and Davis look forward to a night of fun and fundraising for BGCGW and Starz24 Foundation and the important work they do. Tickets are available for $100-$150 and can be purchased at https://www.eventnation.co/event/VernonDavisJoshNormanWhiteParty.
