Last Friday, I attended the Fair Chance DC 2014 Butterfly Bash. The annual bash was held at Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium, which was the perfect setting for the astounding  event. This year's host was none other than Chris Cooley, former Washington Redskins tight-end. The annual bash honored Carrie and David Marriott for their devoted commitment to children and youth in the Nations Capitol.

After checking in, guests were offered a butterfly or two to wear throughout the night. I decided to wear the purple butterfly on my finger. What a cute accessory!

After several photo sessions with the crowd, I sampled the food catered by Ridgewells. My favorite was the crab dish. So delicious! The music entertainment kick off the event with a band playing old school tunes and popular mainstream music. The live band covered one of my favorite hits by Adele "Rolling in the Deep" which made me hit the dance floor. It wasn't long before the party got the started!

After the last song, Amanda Marshall, founder of Fair Chance DC, introduced Chris Cooley and Gretchen Van der Veer.
The duo provided the honorees awards and presentation of the Fair Chance Video: Why Are You Here?. The video showcased Amanda Marshall, Gretchen Van der Veer, Carrie Marriott, David Marriott and several others explaining the cause.  Check out the video below:
Over 850 people were in attendance this year. A great achievement for the non-profit organization!
