We snapped Dreams For Kids DC executive director Glenda Fu, Women's Democracy Network's Gail Wilson and HRCI's Bilen Teklezghi.

Dreams For Kids DC provides life-changing adaptive clinics to empower children with physical and developmental disabilities to unite with their peers and realize their potential.

DFKDC board member/Land Resources' Kevin Chesley, B3 Master Brewers' Ryan Boyle and AOL's Scott Helms.
