GO BO Party!

We went to the GO BO Party 2015 at The Johns House in Georgetown. We snapped UBS Financial Services' Gordon Dale, Washington Fine Properties’ Connie Carter and Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans.

The Go Bo party is unlike any other fundraiser in DC; the fun, drinks, food, laughter and good live music all take place under a circus tent. Over 350 people attended and raised over $50k for the Go Bo Fund. Here, St. George's Kyle Slatery flanked by sisters, art teacher Page Johns and flower designer Elizabeth Johns.

Guests, who were encouraged to wear their best Western attire, enjoyed a full open bar, a mechanical bull to ride, catered food by Rocklands and gift bags from SCOUT. Here, Kelley Paul, wife of US Sen. Rand Paul, with Innocents at Risk founder Deborah Sigmund.

The party is a fundraiser for the Go Bo Fund the Johns family started when Bo was battling cancer in 6th grade. Bo saw so many kids during his 87 days in Georgetown Hospital that needed help, so all the funds go into their Emergency Family Relief Fund. Here, Bo Johns, all grown up now, next to Motown and funk band The Waller Family, who provided the live music.
