2022 Helping Children Soar Benefit

We invite you to our in-person Helping Children Soar Benefit this September at our new event location – District Winery on the Anacostia waterfront!

Join as we honor The J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation for their ongoing investment in improving behavioral health across the DC region.

DC kids and families have always faced challenges. But the pandemic made even the most straight-forward puzzles more complicated. Thankfully, partners and supporters across the entire Children’s Law Center community came together to ensure we could keep piecing together each puzzle – no matter how complex – for the children and families we serve.

Join us the evening of September 20th for our first Benefit at District Winery to celebrate the children and families we’ve worked with through individual advocacy and policy reform efforts over the past year. We’ll also be honoring The J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation and awarding our 2022 Pro Bono Champion Crowell & Moring LLP for their extraordinary commitment and unwavering financial and strategic support!

Our work would not be possible without the commitment of supporters – and we need your support today. A generous group of donors* has offered matching funds for individuals who make Kite Club sponsorships through August 26.  

*Special thanks to Diana and Stephen Goldberg & the Andrew and Julie Klingenstein Family Fund for their matching funds up to a combined total of $100,000. Gifts will be matched 2 to 1 for new Kite Club donors and those who increase to the next level. For Kite Club donors who renew their gift, it’ll be matched dollar for dollar.  

Thank you to our sponsors!
