Breath of Life Gala!

There were so many great events over the weekend, we still have some to share! We started at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s 12th annual Breath of Life Gala Saturday at the National Building Museum.

The black tie affair raised funds for cystic fibrosis research and care. Silent auction items included a four night stay anywhere in the world and autographed sports memorabilia. Here, Jewish Women International’s Ellen Winston, Frazier Forbes’ Bruce Winston, IDG’s Steve Coniglio and his wife, Wink Boutique’s Ashleigh.

Over $2.4M was raised through auctions and sponsorships. Here, Carr Properties’ Barry Bass, Bullis School’s Pam Bass and auctioneer Robin Treadway, who drove up bidding on items like a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette and a trip to Tuscany.

Here, BCU’s Alyssa Grigg, Sen. Graham staffer Reece Pelley, Stout and Teague’s Rick Stout, Reston Hospital’s Elizabeth Stout, Norwalk Grassroots Tennis’ Jane Pelley.
