As part of Mr. Washington’s philanthropic contribution back to the community, he will be donating a significant portion of sales to Dreams for Kids DC!
Dreams for Kids DC is a local non-profit benefiting the local community through adaptive sports clinics for at-risk and homeless youth, and children with disabilities. They are dedicated to making dreams come true one child at a time, through mentoring and community based involvement. Dreams for Kids meets the needs of a demographic often forgotten. They choose to see the potential in every child regardless of mental or physical impairment. While often rejected from an athletic arena of participation in sports and physically demanding activities, Dreams for Kids DC gives these children the opportunity to go beyond their limits and achieve higher goals. Dreams for Kids is honored to be part of the fashion show. The organization has chosen 6 children to walk in a special scene dedicated to the organization. We are extending this e-mail to everyone in various networks that would be interested in attending the show.

The group debuted their first album in 1960, when Knight was 16 years old, going on to achieve icon status with memorable songs of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, Top 20 hits like “Every Beat of My Heart,” “Letter Full of Tears,” “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” and the #1 smash “Midnight Train to Georgia.” Knight enjoyed another #1 hit in 1985 when she teamed with Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Dionne Warwick on “That’s What Friends are For.” Knight has recorded more than 40 albums over the course of her career.

That same year, she co-starred with Flip Wilson in the CBS comedy “Charlie & Co.” Other acting roles followed on such TV shows as “Benson,” “The Jefferson’s” and “New York Undercover,” and in such television films as “Pipe Dreams,” “An Enemy Among Us” and “Desperado.” She recorded the title theme for the James Bond movie License to Kill. In 1999, she completed a starring run on Broadway in the smash musical hit Smokey Joe’s Café.
In 1995, Knight earned her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the next year, Gladys Knight & The Pips were inducted into the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame. Knight published an autobiography, Between Each Line of Pain and Glory, in 1997, and the next year, she and The Pips were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame.

On Sunday, April 28, Woman of the Year (WOY) candidate Roxana Muzzammel will be hosting a fashion show at the Huxley from 5 – 8 p.m. to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Spanish fashion brand Hoss Intropia will feature its designs at the show.
The fashion show, “Fashion for a Cure,” is a unique opportunity to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma society’s lifesaving blood cancer research. Funds raised will go to blood cancer research in honor of local children who are blood cancer survivors, the Boy & Girl of the Year. Today, hundreds of thousands of children are battling leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma. Fashion for a Cure seeks to address this dire demographic with the support they need.
Spanish brand, Hoss Intropia will feature its collection at the show. Hoss Intropia’s philosophyrests on the concept of “intropia,” a term which comes from a combination of the words introspection and utopia. Hoss Intropia stands for striving for a dream, a vital desire. According to this concept, Hoss Intropia is perfect as the main fashion brand for the show, because it supports the LLS dream that one day there will be a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
Haute Heritage will also feature its collection. Haute Heritage is a unique and versatile women’s wear line that combines global artisan traditions with modern, sophisticated styles. Baltimore nominee for LLS’ Man of the Year campaign and award-winning designer Christopher Schafer will feature his men’s wear collection at the show also.
Charitable minded, MWOY candidate Muzzammel is no stranger to supporting LLS. In 2012, Muzzammel became involved with LLS after her father passed away from leukemia.Muzzammel participated in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night walk to raise money and build public awareness about blood cancers.
Presently, Muzzammel is focused on showing support in memory of her father, but also for the many children who are blood cancer survivors. This year, Muzzammel’s charitable efforts come just before her fashion show, Fashion for a Cure.
“My support goes out to those children effected by leukemia, their families and loved ones,” says Muzzammel. “By participating in the Man & Woman of the Year campaign, I hope to show my support for those young blood cancer survivors, the Boy & Girl of the Year. I challenge the people of the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to attend this fundraiser and show their support and experience an evening of food, fashion, and fun.”
Through its exclusive partnership with Blues Alley, Georgetown’s iconic home for jazz, The Fourth Estate is thrilled to present “Jazz Night”.
On Wednesday May 1, The Fourth Estate restaurant will be hosting performances by musician-members of the renowned Blues Alley Youth Orchestra. Now is your chance to hear the Oscar Peterson or Joshua Redman of the future.
The emerging musicians and orchestra alumni are graduates of America’s top music conservatories and among the most talented instrumentalists in the Washington, D.C. area. They will play during dinner from about 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. as background music.
There is no cover charge, and the musicians will be available for questions and answers from dinner guests after the sessions finish. All attendees will receive 10% off their bill and will also receive discounts to Blues Alley shows in Georgetown.
