Thursday, we went to Children’s Health Board's fourth annual Hoops Madness fundraiser at Longview Gallery. We snapped Caleb Davy with his parents Fred and Monica. Caleb was born with cerebral palsy and suffered from renal disease, but none of that deterred this Wilson High School student from riding the Metro on his own, going on cross-country vacations, camping, playing basketball, golf, archery, fishing or horseback riding. For his inspiring story, he was the recipient of the Young Person of the Year Award.
More than 300 guests enjoyed the NCAA first round-games shown on big-screen TVs, opportunities for networking, drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and live and silent auctions. Here, Children’s Health Board member and Hoops Madness co-chair Randy Jones Toll; Children's National president and CEO Kurt Newman; and Marceé White, the medical director of the Children's Health System mobile health programs, Children's Health Project of DC and Children's Health Center at THEARC.
Since 1866, the Children’s Health Board has been caring for Washington, DC’s children and their health needs. Here are the event co-hosts, Washington Wizards announcers Steve Buckhantz and Phil Chenier.
