Big Reason to Celebrate

Local Non-profit Tallies Another $75,000 for House of Ruth

It was a party with a purpose. On February 24, Hope Rising held its fourth annual "Celebrate Hope" event at the Hotel Monaco in downtown Washington D.C. to benefit House of Ruth. This year's event exceeded all expectations and resulted in a $75,000 donation to House of Ruth. To date, Hope Rising has raised nearly $225,000 for the local organization that has been helping women, children and families in need throughout the District of Columbia since 1976.

Once again, Hotel Monaco Washington D.C. played a huge part in the success of the event by providing the perfect location for the festivites, which included four fabulous food stations, two open bars, a lively live auction, a successful silent auction, a raffle, and some energetic dancing by people who probably haven't danced since last year's event!
