MORE THAN A GALA
This isn’t a sit-at-your-table-all-night kind of event.
It’s cocktails with friends. Incredible food. Dancing. Discovering and bidding on an incredible silent auction—plus raffles with can’t-miss prizes.
It’s a night to dress up, let loose, and enjoy yourself—while giving back.
Every ticket supports our burn survivor support programs and the pediatric burn care program at Children’s National Hospital.
We come together because we’ve seen how burn injuries can change lives in an instant — and how much support is needed long after the initial emergency.
Fun first. Purpose always.
WHY THIS NIGHT MATTERS
Burn injuries don’t end when someone leaves the hospital. Recovery is ongoing — and it affects not just survivors, but the families who walk beside them every step of the way.
The support made possible by this gala helps survivors and families navigate the long road that follows through recovery, connection, and community. It ensures children receive specialized burn care and ongoing support, and that survivors of all ages have access to the care, resources, and connection they deserve.
This night is fun. The impact lasts long after the lights go down.
Your night out helps fund long-term support for burn survivors, injured firefighters, and their families.
