The Kimpton Hotel Monaco played host last month for Horton’s Kids’ 10th annual Give Thanks & Give Back reception! Here, Horton's Kids Executive Director Robin Berkley with Deputy Mayor for Greater Economic Opportunity Courtney Snowden.

This year’s event was record-breaking, raising more than $150K for Horton’s Kids’ work to empower children in one of D.C.’s most under-resourced neighborhoods to graduate from high school ready for success! Here, Horton's Kids alumni Nathan Woods and Issac McLaughlin surround Horton's Kids Community Center & Outreach Director Julie Lonardo.

The elegant reception included a silent auction and featured remarks from DCPS Chancellor Antwan Wilson and Snowden, Deputy Mayor for Greater Economic Opportunity, and was attended by hundreds of guests from the greater D.C. area. Here, local philanthropists and Horton's Kids supporters Barbara Harman and Julie Jacobson.
