BETHESDA CHAPTER CHAPTER - May 22, 2008 |
On May 22, the chapter presented a check for $450,000 to The Children's Inn at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The check represented the proceeds from "A Night for the Children," a charity gala held April 5 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. This year's gala marked the 10th anniversary of the charity event, which has raised more than $2 million since its inception through corporate sponsorships and table sales. Earlier in the week, The Children's Inn and the chapter jointly announced the establishment of the "AFCEA Bethesda Endowment for the Inn," created in honor of the gala's 10th anniversary. In years to come, proceeds from the annual fundraiser will be directed to the endowment. |
