CLC’s Eighth Annual Benefit, Helping Children Soar is coming up September 17, 2008 from 6 to 9 pm at the Kennedy Center Roof Terrace Restaurant. Thanks to the incredible support of Freddie Mac and a generous gift by McKenna Long & Aldridge, the entire cost of the event has been underwritten, so every dollar you give will support CLC’s vision of a healthy mind and body, safe home, and meaningful education for every DC child. Sponsorships are available from $1,000, with benefits of tickets and acknowledgment on our website, invitation, program, press releases, and newsletters, depending upon giving level. For more information please contact Catharine Clarenbach at 202.467.4900 x 567 or cclarenbach[AT]childrenslawcenter.org.
